Boddington's "Quality" 

 Lily-of-the- Valley 



Lily-of-the- Valley is among the best-known and most popular flowers, 

 and is chaste and beautiful for all occasions. We make arrangements 

 for only the best-ripened and matured three-year-old pips. 

 New crop of Lily-o!-the-Valley should always be frozen before forcing' 

 Boddington's ♦'Wedding Bells" brand, being specially selected, is 

 superior for first crop; will convince the most critical grower of its supe- 

 riority over brands usually offered for early forcing, the foliage and 

 flower-spike being all that can be desired. $2.25 per too, %20 per 1,000. 



Lily-of-the-Valley from Cold Storage 



We import large quantities of the best grade of Valley for forcing, 

 which are put in cold storage immediately upon arrival and kept 

 perfectly dormant, These pips can be shipped at any day of the 

 year and can be brought into full flower in three weeks from time of 

 planting without undue forcing, and with foliage. We recommend 

 these for flowering before and up to Christmas. They should be 

 potted or boxed as soon as received, and be placed in a tempera- 

 ture of 55° or 60°. $3 per 100. S25 per 1,000. 



CALLA AETHIOPICA (calla lily) 



Too well known to need description. We offer a very fine lot of dry 

 roots, all with center shoots ready for forcing. Each Doz. 100

FREEST A REFR ACTA ALBA, ETC. 



Of all South African flowering bulbs, the Freesia is doubtless the best 

 known and most esteemed. The gracefully branched, fragrant flowers 

 are of long duration, and, being freely produced, are profitable for 

 commercial purposes, and satisfactory to amateurs. If planted early they 

 may be had in bloom by Christmas. Plant eight or ten bulbs in a 6-inch 

 bulb-pan, covering them one inch. The peculiar habit, its delicious per- 

 fume and great value for cutting, have made it immensely popular. 

 Large bulbs. 15 cts. per doz., $1.25 per 100, $10 per 1,000. 

 Mamnioth selected bulbs. 25 cts. per doz., ii.75 per 100, $15 per 1,000. 

 Monster bulbs. 35 cts. per doz., $2.25 per 100, $20 per 1,000.

 yellow, with orange blotch on 

 each petal. 20 cts. per doz., $1.25 

 per 100, $10 per 1,000.
