24 Edward Gillett , Southvnck , 3/ass. —Hardy Perennials 
Convallaria, var. “Miellez’s Revelation” in Lily-of-the-Valley. <§> It is of extraordi¬ 
nary size and vigor, of the most exquisite fragrance and does well under all conditions 
and in all sorts of soils, growing just as well in full sun as in partial shade. Extremely 
hardy, and, while not increasing quite so fast as the common kinds, is still of good in¬ 
crease. It is well to cover it in December with a good coat of barnyard manure; green 
is just as good as old. Leave it in the spring to serve as mulch. The Massachusetts 
Horticultural Society awarded it a “First-class Certificate of Merit,” May 22, 1897.
