LILY OF THE VALLEY 
Forced in immense quantities for cut flower work by 
florists as they are useful in so many different combina¬ 
tions, but their main hold upon the affections of plant 
lovers is their hardiness and humility. The Lily of the 
Valley will thrive in any kind of soil and throw up its 
beautiful, modest, fragrant white bells in the out-of-the- 
way nooks, the shady spots, the neglected corners, where 
bolder and more ambitious flowers would scorn to bloom. 
Will also adapt itelf to pot culture in winter, its delicate 
permeating fragrance making it especially desirable. 
6 for 50c; 12 for 80c; $5.50 per 100.

to scarlet and the fruit ripens a bright red, making it a thing of beauty the entire year. 18 to 24
