LILY-OF-THE-V ALLEY 



( Convallaria m aja lis ) 



READY IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 



One of the most beautiful and admired spring- 

 flowering plants, and universally sought for it? 

 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 considerable amount 

 of heat to start them. The^^ 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, S3 per doz., S20 per 100. 



Pips for Forcing. 50 cts. per bundle of 25, Si. 65 per 

 100, S14 per 1,000.
