Lily of the Valley . 
Probably no flower is so highly valued, or so extensively cultivated for cutting, as this beau- 
tiful native of the English woodlands, with its graceful sprays of delicately fragrant pure 
white blossoms. 
The method of retarding the crowns, now so much in vogue, has made it possible for a 
supply of these dainty flowers to be available practically the whole year round, the ordinary 
forcing or Berlin crowns flowering during the first four or five months of the year, whilst the 
retarded or frozen crowns keep up the supply from June until December. 
For out of door cultivation the clumps are the most suitable, and a moist shady situation 
should be chosen. 
EXTRA STRONG BERLIN CROWNS. Per bundle of 25, 1/9 ; per 100, 6/6 
STRONG IMPORTED CLUMPS, for outdoor planting. Each, 1/- 
Ready for delivery in November. 
RETARDED CROWNS. These can be supplied from June to December,
