= 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 purposes; for flowering in pots in the winter 

 they are exceedingly 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 quantities, 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. (Ready for delivery in November.) 

 Henderson's Giant German (Single Crowns or "Pips.") The finest grade of Crowns in the world for winter 

 flowering. They will bear 12 to 16 large bells on strong stalks, with foliage, even when forced for extra 

 early; the pips average large, plump and regular, with extra long roots. 25 Crowns (1 bundle), S1.0O; 

 or delivered SI . 10; 100 Crowns, $2 . 50 or delivered S2 . 90. S20 . 00 per 1000 buyer paying transit. 

 Fortin's Giant. This is the largest variety yet produced; it is only adapted for open ground 

 planting and may not show much superiority the first spring after planting, but by the second

 of purest white bells twice the size of any other sort. In every way it is superior. Crowns, 40c. per 

 doz.; $3.00 per 100; or
