'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 recommended for general forcing ; 
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. Out-of-doors the Lily of the Valley likes a partially shaded and moist situation, and 
a good light soil. Plantations of Lily of the Valley should receive annually in March a light 
dressing of old manure. 
Directions for Forcing. — A moist atmosphei-e, with a temperature of 80 to 85 degrees, 
and abundance of water, is necessary to success in forcing Lily of the Valley ; to encourage simul- 
taneously 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 of water at the roots, the crowns, technically speaking, go ‘ blind.’
