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 inter- 

 vals 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 Noiember')
