LILY - OF - THE - VALLEY (convallaria majalis) 



Ready in ^^ovemher 



One of the most beautiful and admired spring-flowering plants, and universally sought for^ its neat and 

 chaste outline and delicate odor. The growth is close, dwarf and compact, and the plant is linrdy and pernianent. 



It is now a most popular plant for forcing, which 



is easily done by planting the pips in pots, from 

 6 to 12 in each, watering freely, keeping in a 

 cold cellar, and starting from week to week, to 

 keep up a succession. They generally flower in 

 three or four weeks after planting. They require 

 a considerable amount of heat to start them. 

 Clumps. Fine large clumps, with many flowering 



pips on each. Fine for planting outside in 



shaded positions, and for naturalizing by the 



side of streams or wood walks. 30 cts. each, 



$3 per dozen. 

 Pips for forcing. 50 cts. per bundle of 25, $1.75 



per 100, $14 per 1,000.
