"Christmas Forcing" 

 LILY OF THE VALLEY. 



Henderson's Giant Christmas Forcing 

 LILY OF THE VALLEY. 



The finest grade of Lily of the Valley in the world for early winter flower- 

 ing. They will bear twelve to sixteen large bells on strong stalks, with foliage 

 even when forced for extra early ; they are equally superior for later or suc- 

 cessional crops The pips average large, plump and regular, with ex'.ra long 

 roots. Read what our customers think of them. 



"The Christmas Valley / had from you ivere very fine better than any I have 

 handled in 18 years' experience, and I have kicked myself because I did not order more. 

 Will want a large quantity next season; cant compete novj-a-days unless you have 

 iomething a little better than the other fellow— and the extra price received more than 

 pays the difference in cost between No t stock and ordinary, and there 

 is a satisfaction outside of dollars and cents that goes a long way."

Coe Ridge, Oh io. 



' IV e see from the style of bloom that you have a fine strain of Lily 

 of the Valley and you may book us for JO,ooo pips for fall delivery."

 other white-flowering Spiraeas— and one of the most beautiful winter

 earlier and mo*-e profuse in bloom than Spira'a faponica. as a Florists' 

 market plant, and for forcing for cut flowers, it is unrivalled
