Boddington'B "Quality" Lily-of-the-Valley 



Boddington's "Quality 

 Lily-of-the-Valley 



Lily-of-the- Valley is among the best known and most popular flowers, 

 and is chaste and beautiful for all occasions. We make arrangements 

 for only the best-ripened and matured three-year-old pips. 



New crop Lily-of-the-Valley should always be frozen before forcing 

 Boddington's "Wedding Bells" brand, being specially selected, 



is superior for first crop ; will convince the most critical grower of 



its superiority over brands usually offered, for early forcing, the 



foliage and flower-spike being all that can be desired. $2 per 100, 



$17.50 per 1,000, $40 per case of 2,500. 

 " Quality " Berlin Pips. For early forcing ; strong three-year-old 



pips; a really good Valley, jfi.75 per 100, $15 per 1,000, $35 per case 



of 2,500. 



Selected Hamburg Pips. Best for late forcing ; strong three-year- 

 old, for late winter and spring forcing. $1.60 per 100, $13.50 per i,oco, 

 $32 per case of 2,500. 



Lily-of-the-Valley from Cold Storage 



We import large quantities of the best grade of Valley for forcing, 

 which are put in cold storage immediately upon arrival and kept per- 

 fectly dormant. These pips can be shipped at any day of the year 

 and can be brought into full flower in three weeks from time of plant- 

 ing without undue forcing, and with foliage. We recommend these for 

 flowering before and up to Christmas. They should be potted or boxed 

 as soon as received and be placed in a temperature of 50'^ or 55°. $2.50 

 per 100, $20 per 1,000. 



CALLA AETHIOPICA (calla lily) 



Too well known to need description. We offer a very fine lot of dry 

 roots, all with center shoots ready for forcing. Each Doz. 100

FREESIA REFRACTA ALBA 



Of all South African flowering bulbs, the Freesia is doubtless the 

 best known and most esteemed. The gracefully branched, fragrant 

 flowers are of long duration, and being freely produced, are profitable 

 for commercial purposes, and satisfactory to amateurs. If planted 

 early they may be had in bloom by Christmas. Plant eight or ten bulbs 

 in a 6-inch bulb-pan, covering 

 them one inch. The peculiar 

 habit, its delicious perfume and 

 great value for cutting, have 

 made it immensely popular.

The Grand New Freesia. Purity 



A grand acquisition to the Freesias, and for the florist as a cut-flower or pot-plant, and no one 

 should be without a few bulbs of this delightful novelty. Flowers, which are snowy white, of large 

 size, are borne in great profusion on long stems which grow upright and stiff ; are excellent for cut- 

 flower purposes. 50 cts. per doz., $4 per 100, $30 per 1,000; mammoth bulbs (very scarce), $1.50 per 

 doz., $10 per irx). 



OXALIS 



Lovely little bulbous plants for hanging pots and baskets. The bulbs should be planted an inch 

 deep, six or eight in a 5-inch pot. They need a sunny situation.
