LILY-OF=THE-VALLEY. 
Convallaria. 
This deliciously fragrant and lovely flower is 
a favorite with everyone. It is hardy, and does 
well in any soil not too dry. When forced, the 
roots must be firmly planted, and the flowering 
crowns well covered with soil or moss at first. 
The roots we offer are very strong, and every 
pip is selected. They will be found very early and 
sure in flowering. We sell large quantities, and are 
in a position to give very satisfactory pips. They 
are ready for delivery in November.

SACRED LILIES, OR CHINESE NARCISSUS. 
NEW YEAR’S LILY. 
This is a beautiful and interesting 
variety of WVarcissus Tazetta. It was in- 
troduced in Boston a short time ago by 
the Chinese, who grow and flower it ad- 
mirably in their shop windows. It is very 
easily grown in water, and if set in the 
centre of a shallow dish, with small 
pieces of marble or stones, the roots will 
form a beautiful net work, and the bulb 
will flower freely. One bulb we grew had 
ninety-seven expanded flowers at one 
time. The flowers are yellow and white. 
Very attractive and excellent for window 
culture. :

JAPANESE SACRED LILY, 
A fragrant, early flowering variety of Narcissus imported from Japan. The bulbs. 
should be placed from seven to ten in a bowl or glass dish of water, partly filled with pebbles,. 
some of which place around and over the bulbs to keep them in position. Place in a sunny 
window and change the water frequently. Each 5 cents; doz. 50 cents. 
Bowls and Shallow Dishes suitable for Chinese and Japanese Sacred Lilies, can be 
supplied. Both these varieties of Narcissus succeed admirably when grown in pots: 
treatment and soil same as for the yacinth.
