xLILY OF THE VALLEY, 
For forcing, and making plantations out of doors. 
The Berlin Forcing Crowns offered below we recommend for general forcing, to come in after 
Christmas. For flowering before and at Christmas the Retarded Crowns should be used. For outdoor 
ciillure the Planting Crowns are recommended. 
DIRECTIONS FOR FORCING. 
Plant 15 to 20 crowns in a s-inch pot, shaking in a little 
light soil amongst the roots, until they are tightly potted ; 
leave the crowns free above the soil and a little below the 
rim of the pot. Place on bottom heat in a moist atmosphere, 
with a temperature of 80 to 85 degrees (if forced in March 
a temperature of Jo to 75 degrees will be sufficient), and 
cover the crowns with a little cocoa fibre or - moss, which 
remove when top growth is showing. Tepul water should 
be frequently given, care being taken that it penetrates to 
the centre of the clump. To encourage simultaneously the 
development of flower and foliage, keep a flower-pot inverted 
over the crowns, until flower and foliage have made some 
progress, when gradually admit light. A dry atmosphere, or 
an insufficient supply of water at the roots, will cause the 
crowns, technically speaking, to go “blind.” Where large 
quantities of Lily of the Valley blooms are required for cut- 
ting, the crowns should be planted rather thickly in boxes 
and receive the treatment described above.
