§LILY OF THE VALLEY (Convallaria 



Majalis). For winter and early spring 

 blooming, the clumps we offer of this 

 fi-agrant and favoui-ite plant cannot be 

 too strongly recommended. They have 

 been specially prepared for blooming in- 

 doors. A few clumps planted in a bos 

 and placed in gentle heat will furnish a 

 large quantity of bloom, and by succes- 

 sional plantings a supply may be main- 

 tained throughout the winter and spring 

 months. They are also admirably 

 adapted for flowering in the sitting- 

 room, in pots, and for filhng window
