LI LV-OF-THK- VALLEY. 
LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY 
One of the most charming of spriog-Howering plants, 
bearing slender stems with tiny bells, deliciously fra- 
grant. They are largely used for forcing in winter and 
spring, and can readily be flowered in the house. The 
simplest method for indoor culture is to place a bundle 
of 25 pips in a 7- or 8-inch pot, filling it up with sand, 
moss or light soil, allowing the points of the pips to be 
about an inch above the surface. They should then be 
placed out of doors in a shaded place and subiected to 
frost, which materially helps in their quick flowering. 
The pots can be brought indoors as wanted, and if 
frozen should be thawed out slowly, after which they 
may be put in a shaded place in a temperature of about 
70 degrees. 
Selected Pips. For forcing or planting out, hut we 
recommend clumps as most suitable for outdoor plant- 
ing. 25 cts. per doz., bundles of 25 for 40 cts., $1.50
