Lily-of-the-Valley 



One of the most universally known and admired plants. The 

 graceful spikes, with the dainty pure white bells, are a delight to 

 the eye, and their delicate fragrance is exquisite. Plants succeed 

 almost anywhere, but prefer a partly shaded situation and rich soil. 

 For house culture, pla"nt rather thickly in pots or boxes, scatter 

 some moss or other light material over the soil, which must not 

 cover the crown: water well and set away in a dark, cold place 

 where they will not freeze or bury pot in ground for several days. 

 When brought to heat and light after a few weeks, the leaves and 

 flowers will soon appear. Ready for delivery in November. Strong- 

 flowering crowns. Three for 25c, 75c per dozen, $6.00 per 100, 

 postpaid.
