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 

 may also be planted in moss fiber in vases. 

 Clumps. Fine, large clumps, with many 

 flowering pips on each. Fine for planting out- 

 side in shaded positions and for naturalizing 

 by the side of streams or wood walks. 30 cts. 

 each, S3 per doz., I20 per 100. 

 Pips for Forcing. 60 cts. per bundle of 25, %2 

 per 100, S16 per 1,000. 



Chinese Sacred Lily 



(The Water Fairy Flower) 



READY IN SEPTEMBER 



A variety of the Polyanthus Narcissus, impor- 

 ted from Cliina. The bulbs should be placed 

 from three to six in a bowl or glass dish of water 

 which has been partly filled with pebbles, some 

 of which place over the bulbs so 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 

 Lily-of-the-Valley room. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz.
