A HUNCH OF 
LILY OF THE VALLEY 
GROWN FROM OUR 
SELECTEO THREE-YEAR-OLD PIPS 
This is one of the most charming of 
spring flowering plants, bearing slender steins 
set with tiny bells, which diffuse a delicious 
odor. The growth is close, dwarf and com- 
pact, and the plant is hardy and permanent. 
It is also a most popular plant for forcing. 
They generally flower in three or four weeks 
after planting. 
These pretty flowers grow in shady places 
where few other flowers succeed ; they bloom 
freely out-of-doors, and may be had from New- 
Year on, when forced, beginning with a tem- 
perature of 45° and increasing very gradually 
to 65°. If the pots have a little bottom heat 
during the winter months, they will do better. 
Select a half dozen of strong, firm pips, with 
roots attached, for a six-inch pot, and use 
rich sandy loam. After flowering, they nun- 
be planted in the flower border. 
Flowering pips, per hundred, $2.00 ; each, 
5c; per dozen, 30c. 
Strong; clumps for planting- in the open 
ground, each, 50c; per dozen, $5.00.
