LILY-OF-THE- VALLEY {Convallaria majalis) 



READY IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 



One of the most beautiful and admired spring-fiowering 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 also may be planted in moss fiber 

 in vases. 



Clumps. Fine large clumps, with many flower- 

 ing pips on each. Fine for planting outside 

 in shaded positions and for naturalizing by 

 the side of streams or wood walks. 30 cts. 

 each, S3 per doz., S20 per 100. 



Pips for Forcing. 50 cts. per bundle of 25, Si. 7 5 

 per 100, S14 per 1,000. 



Above prices do not include cost of 

 transportation
