BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTING 



LILY OF THE VALLEY 



fHE Lily of the Valley is one of the most admired and useful plants grown; the modest bell-shaped flower of purest 

 white on long stems are highly prized for cutting purposes; for flowering in pots in the winter they are exceedingly 

 well adapted and will last several weeks in beauty. By taking them in at intervals a succession of flowers may be 

 kept up all winter. They are also forced in immense quantities, but they are the most charming when grown in 

 large patches, in partially shaded localities around the lawn near the borders of streams, lakes, etc., being 

 perfectly hardy. (Ready for delivery in November.)
