The Ixia is a beautiful little winter- 

 flowering bulb with long, slender, grace- 

 ful spikes of bloom. The colors are rich, 

 varied arid beautiful, the center always 

 differing in color from the other parts of 

 the flower so that the blossoms, expanding 

 in the sun's rays, present, a picture of 

 gorgeous beauty. Mixed Colors, 20c. per

Lily of the Valley. 



The 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 pur- 

 poses; for flowering in pots in the winter they are exceed- 

 ingly 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 quan- 

 tities, 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.
