Lily of the Valley— The Lily of the Valley is as 
hardy as 'any plant can possibly be, and when 
planted in the open ground will increase pretty 
rapidly. For the house we have what are called 
“ pips,” young roots with flowering stems, that 
will bloom in a few weeks after planting, and 
will flower well in baskets of damp moss, or 
potted. Pips for Winter flowering in the 
house, we can send out in December, as they 
will not suffer injury from frost. For the gar- 
den we can ship either in the Spring or Autumn.

LILIUM AURATUM. 
Tulips. 
Owing to the late Spring frosts, bedding plants cannot safely be planted before the early Spring flow- 
ering bulbs are through blooming. Without these bulbs, for one or two months of beautiful 
Spring weather, our gardens would present a bare appearance. We know of nothing that for the 
amount of money invested will give a more gorgeous show during early Spring, and there is noth- 
ing more easily grown than the Tulip. They thrive well in almost any soil. Should be planted 
during October and November.
