 tipped with green. Once planted they take care of themselves. Splendid for Rock Gardens.

Liliums 



(See pages 18 and 19) 



Lily of the Valley 



One of the most charming of spring-flowering plants, and can readily be flowered in the 

 house. The simplest method for indoor culture is to place a bundle of 25 pips in a 7 or 8-inch 

 pot, filling it up with sand, moss, light soil or bulb fibre, allowing the points of the pips to be 

 about an inch above the surface. They should then be placed out of doors and brought indoors 

 as wanted, and put in a shaded place in a temperature of about 70 degrees, and when the spikes 

 are 3 to 4 inches high they may be brought to where they are to perfect their flowers. We 

 recommend clumps as most suitable for outdoor planting.
