Lily of the Valley 
Lily of the Valley 
(Convallaria) 
For open ground we supply either clumps or pips. 
The clumps should be set from six inches to one foot 
apart, and covered three inches deep. If pips are planted, 
set them to the same depth but quite thickly (every pip 
produces a flower). 
For growing in the house or for forcing, pips are by 
far the best, as they have more vigor and will bloom 
earlier. When potting pips keep the crowns or buds 
above the soil, cover the tops of the pots with loose 
moss, place them in a temperature of about 80 degrees, 
keep constantly moist with tepid water; they should 
produce flowers in from four to five weeks.

The Genuine KUM-YUENG-FONG-CHOP 
No jare whatever is required in the cultivation of this 
beautiful and interesting bulbous plant. Use shallow 
dishes about three inches deep, into which put about 
one inch of gravel. Set the bulbs on this and fill in 
with small stones or pieces of marble to keep them 
upright, and keep the dish full of water. These bulbs 
do not require to be put in the dark, but a little shading 
until the leaves begin to grow is beneficial. A pinch of 
wood ashes now and again, and when changing the 
water, putting a few drops of ammonia into it, will 
largely ensure success. Mammoth Bulbs, 12c each, $1.25
