*LILY OF THE VALLEY, for Forcing, and making Plantations out-of-doors. 
The clumps of Lily of the Valley quoted have been specially prepared, and cannot fail to 
give abundance of flowers. In potting, the crowns should be a little below the rim of the pot, 
and covered with cocoa fibre, which should be removed when the crowns show through ; tight 
potting is of great importance, and care should be taken, in the first watering , that the moisture 
penetrates to the centre of the clump. The Berlin Crowns are extensively used for forcing by 
the growers for Covent Garden Market; of these, 15 to 20 may be planted in a 5-inch pot. 
For Lily Of the Valley beds, also for massing in north borders, and to naturalise in woods, 
copses, &c., the selected Dutch Crowns are the best. 
CULTURE. — A moist atmosphere, with a teniperature of 80 to 85 degrees, and abundance of 
water, is necessary to success in forcing Lily of the Valley ; to encourage simultaneously the 
development of flower and foliage, place the pots in a shady damp part of the house, or invert a 
flower-pot over the crowns, till the flower and the foliage have made some progress, when remove 
to a less shady situation. If they are grown in a dry atmosphere, or get an insufficient supply 0/ 
■water at the roots, the crowns, technically speaking, go ‘ blind.’
