 The Lily of the Valley is one of the most useful and greatly admired plants, 

 grown; the modest bell-shaped flowers of purest white, are highly prized for 

 cutting purposes, and for flowering in pots in the winter they are exceedingly 

 well adapted, they are also forced in immense quantities by florists, but they 

 are the most charming when grown in large patches, in partially shaded locali- 

 tiesr round the lawn, near the borders of streams, lakes, etc., being perfectly- 

 hardy. (See cut.) '
