MAY 
LILY OF THE VALLEY (Convallaria majalis). Return of 
happiness. 
OOKING 
now 
among 
the 
broad green 
leaves, with what 
joy do we greet the little ivory bells of 
“that modest, pale, 
And sweetest nursling' of the wood, 
Which men call lily of the vale, 
Because it dwells in lowly mood ”! 
Parsons.
