LIL YSOR: Tae VALLEY. 
(Convallaria.) 
FOR open ground planting we offer large clumps, each containing many flowering crowns. - These may be set from six inches to a foot apart and 
covered three inches. They succeed best in ground which is rather moist and partially shaded. 
For forcing the Pips are to be preferred, being grown under conditions tending to promote vigorous and early blooming. Twelve to eighteen 
pips may be planted in a 6-inch pot, with all the fibrous roots carefully preserved, and keeping the crowns above the soil. Place them ina temperature 
of about 80 degrees, cover the crowns with loose moss, and keep them constantly moist with tepid water. They should flower in about five weeks. 
Ready for delivery in November.
