LILY OF THE VALLEY. 



The failures which attend the winter flowering of this 

 plant are mainly owing to the use of improperly developed 

 roots. As with other similar plants, a certain size or 

 development of the crown, or underground bud, is essen- 

 tial to produce the flower. As in forcing the Hyacinth, 

 and other similar bulbs, crowns of the Lily of the Valley 

 should be covered up outside for a few weeks before be- 

 ing brought into the greenhouse or house to force. Those 

 we flower are put in about the middle of November, 

 packed closely together in light, rich soil, in boxes, three 

 inches deep. These are covered up outside with hay, un- 

 til the first of January; they are then brought into a 

 greenhouse facing north, where there is no direct sun- 

 light at that season. The temperature is kept about \ ° 

 with a moist atmosphere, and by the first of February 

 they are in full flower. Large Pips. (Ready in November.) 

 These should not be confounded with the •single eyes" 

 usually sold. They are larger, stronger, and in every way 

 more certain to flower. Price, 50c per dozen ; $'i 50 per 

 100. Strong, large (imported) clumps, 50c each ; $5 00 

 per dozen.
