LILY-OF-THE- VALLEY 



{Convallaria majalis) 

 READY IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 



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 hardy and permanent. 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 con- 

 siderable amount of heat to start them. They lilv-of-the-v.\lli:v 

 may also be planted in moss fiber in vases. 



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 doz. 

 Pips lor forcing. 50 cts. per bundle of 25, $1.75 per 100, $14 per 1,000.
