LILY OF THE VALLEY. 



{Convallaria.) 



COR 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 in a 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.
