Convallaria 



(Lily of the Valley) 

 Majalis. This is often starved and 

 relegated to some poor, out-of-the- 

 way corner; but this popular and 

 fragrant subject, like most other 

 plants, repays for being well treated, 

 and if the bed is given a liberal top- 

 dressing of well-decayed manure in 

 fall or early spring, it will show the 

 effect by increased size, number and 

 vigor of the flowers. We offer strong 

 clumps, especially suited for outdoor 

 planting. 60 cts. each; $6.00 per 

 doz.; $45.00 per 100.
