LI LY=OF=TH E= VALLEY 
RUSSIAN. 
WE take much pleasure in placing before all lovers of this well- 
known and universal favorite, our new, large flowering Lily of 
the Valley, Russian, which is without question the most desirable 
novelty that has appeared in many years. The Russian Valley produces 
strong spikes of flowers about fifteen inches in height, bearing from 
twelve to twenty extra large pure white bells, which are delightfully 
fragrant. 
The following Testimonials, from two of the most celebrated Growers of Lily of 
the Valley, are a sufficient guarantee of its excellence: 
Philadelphia, Pa.» Feb. 27th, 1894. 
Mr. F. E. McAllister : 
Dear Sir :~\ am very much pleased with the Russian 
Valley received from you last Fall. It is the liiiest I 
have ever seen. The bells are extremely large, and there 
are no weak ones in the lot. It seems uniformly good ; 
will use it exclusively next year. 
Yours truly, ROBERT CRAIG.

LILY OF THE VALLEY. 
The Lily of the Valley is a plant so well-knowu and such a universal favorite that little need 
be said of its description. If they are to be forced during the Winter place the pips in shallow' 
boxes during the month of November, put them in a cold frame or in the open ground, covering 
them so that they do not get severely frozen. They should remain in this condition for at least four 
weeks previous to being forced. They require a bottom temperature of 85 degrees and should be 
kept covered with boards or any light covering until the pips have attained a height of four inches 
when the covering may be lifted a few inches to admit air and light. When they are six inches high 
remove the covering altogether. The temperature of the greenhouse should be kept at 70 degrees. 
If required for out-door culture plant in some partially shaded spot where they may remain for years 
without being distin-bed.
