§LILY OF THE VALLEY. For winter and early 
spring flowering, the clumps we offer can- 
not be too strongly recommended, having 
been specially prepared for in-door bloom- 
ing. When grown for the cut flowers, the 
clumps may be planted several in a box, 
and placed anywhere under the stage in a 
house where there is a gentle heat, and 
attended to with water; thus treated, a 
large quantity of bloom may be secured 
with very little trouble. To maintain a suc- 
cession, a reserve should be kept in a cold 
frame or pit, and removed as required. 
When required for filling jardinets, or for 
drawing-room decoration, the clumps should 
be tightly potted and treated as already 
recommended, taking care in watering to 
see that the newly-potted clump is saturated. 
It is now becoming customary with many to 
select strong single crowns, and pot in very 
rich soil as many of these crowns as they 
wish flowers in a pot, and the success of 
this method was demonstrated in Covent 
Garden Market in the spring, where 5-inch 
pots had as many as 20 to 30 blossoms each.

as a cut flower. Throughout the autumn 
and winter months it produces freely its 
dwarf spikes of beautiful scarlet gladiol*is-

spicuous whether on the dinner-table or in 
the conservatory. As a cut flower it is 
valuable for all classes of bouquets. S. pal- 
mata is a recently-introduced red form of 
the above, and has been hailed with great 
satisfaction as an important addition to our 
in-door and hardy plants.
