Lilies of the Valley 
No dweller in the country should be without a 
generous bed of Lilies-of-the-Valley. In high and 
in lowly gardens these simple, fragrant flowers have 
ever been among the most welcomed of the year. 
In early times the dried off distilled blossoms were 
deemed a cure for many “griefs” of the flesh, and 
while our faith in their potency may be less firm 
today, surely it is true that when we come unex¬ 
pectedly upon the slender stems of frosted, scented 
bells hiding among the bright green leaves we re¬ 
ceive refreshment for the mind and the spirit. 
The Lily-of-the-Valley is essentially a shade lov¬ 
ing plant. Beds should be given a northern or north¬ 
western exposure if possible, and the most desirable 
soil is a rich, sandy loam. In planting, the clumps 
should be set about three inches apart and about 
two inches below the surface. A dressing of well 
rotted manure and leaf mold in the autumn after 
the leaves have died down will insure more and 
finer flowers in the spring. The roots of this fair 
flower are poisonous. 
LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY CLUMPS. Their im¬ 
portation having been restricted, they are very 
scarce. Extra heavy clumps for immediate effect, 
$8 for 10; $35 for 50; $68 per 100. 
“And the Naiad-like lily of the vale, 
Whom youth makes so fair, and passion so pale, 
That the light of its tremulous bells is seen 
Through their pavilions of tender green”
