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, plant rather thick- 

 ly in pots or boxes, scatter some moss or other light mate- 

 rial 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.
