PS-OP-TPP-V. 
"]\TO 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 wel¬ 
comed 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 unexpectedly upon the slender stems of frosted, scented bells hiding among 
the bright green leaves we receive refreshment for the mind and the spirit. 
The Lily-of-the-Valley is essentially a shade loving plant. Beds should be given a northern or 
northwestern 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 importation having been restricted, 
they are very scarce. Extra heavy clumps for immediate effect. $8 for 10; 
$35 for 50; $68 per 100.
