Lilies of tlie Valley N.-M. 
Convallaria majalis 
For early forcing the crowns (25 together in one pot) should be potted 
immediately they come to hand, place the pot in a bottom heat of about 
85 degrees F. and give them a constant supply of water of the same tempe¬ 
rature untill flowering. 
It is to be observed that of clumps a few crowns might occasionally not 
produce such fine flowers as expected, on account of the heads having 
grown so thickly together that some are prevented from throwing up their 
spikes; this disappointment however is avoided by ordering crowns, which 
are specially cultivated and selected for forcing purposes. In forcing it is a 
decided fault to let roots become dry, even for once only, as a good result 
chiefly depends upon constant moisture.
