 §LILY OF THE VALLEY. Forwinter and early 

 spring flowering, the clumps we offer can- 

 not be too strongly recommended, having 

 been specially prepared for in-door bloom- 

 ing. When grown for the cut flowers, the 

 clumps may be planted several in a box, 

 and placed anywhere under the stage in a 

 house where there is a gentle heat, and 

 attended to with water ; thus treated, a 

 large quantity of bloom may be secured 

 with very little trouble. To maintain a suc- 

 cession, a reserve should be kept in a cold 

 frame or pit, and removed as required. 

 When required for filling jardinets, or for 

 drawing-room decoration, the clumps should 

 be tightly potted and treated as already 

 recommended, taking care in watering to 

 see that the newly-potted clump is saturated. 

 It is now becoming customary with many to 

 select strong single crowns, and pot in very 

 rich soil as many of these crowns as they 

 t , wish flowers in a pot, and the success of 

 this method was demonstrated in Covent 

 Garden Market in the spring, where 5-inch 

 ^ pots had as many as 20 to 30 blossoms each.

 estimate the value and beauty of this com- 

 paratively new plant for the decoration of 

 the conservatory, or for filling jardinets, or 

 as a cut flower. Throughout the autumn 

 and winter months it produces freely its 

 dwarf spikes of beautiful scarlet gladiolus- 

 like flowers. In summer it should be planted 

 out, and in autumn lifted and potted.

 §SPIR.£A. S. japonica is one of the most lasting, 



useful, and charming plants for the deco- 

 ration of the conservatory and sitting- 

 room, during the spring months : its 

 elegant leaves and great profusion of pure 

 white fragrant flowers, which are produced 

 in large branched heads, make it con- 

 spicuous whether on the dinner-table or in 

 the conservatory. As a cut' flower it is 

 valuable for all classes of bouquets. S. pal- 

 mata is a recently-introduced red form of 

 the above, and has been hailed with great 

 satisfaction as an important addition to our 

 in-door and hardy plants.
