LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY 



Cowvallaria majalis) 



READY IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 



One of the most beautiful and admired spring-flower- 

 ing 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 perma- 

 nent. 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. They 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 for forcing. 50 cts. per bundle of 25, $1.75 per 100, $14 per 1,000.

READY IN SEPTEMBER

 A variety of the Polyanthus Narcissus, imported from China. The bulbs should be placed from three to six

 as to prevent them from floating. The water should be tepid and changed every two days. Submerge the bulbs 

 entirely and place in a sunny window in a cool room.
