flower worth, Lily-of-the-Valley has an important sales value in the 
merchandising of Pips to the public for planting in various receptacles.

started Pips, 12 or so, in a fancy bowl, displayed in your store will, no

them into bloom. (Prices on application.)

HARDY LILIUM TENUIFOLIUM 
This most desirable narrow-leaved slender Lily grows about 18 inches high, 
producing pendulous flowers somewhat resembling miniature Lilium Rubrum, 
and are brilliant scarlet, flowering outdoors in June. They should be planted 
about 4 inches deep and 3 inches apart. 
For under-glass culture they can be planted in a Darwin tulip bulb pan, set 
4 inches deep, since they are a stem rooting type. They come into bloom in 
approximately 14 weeks. Also, owing to their slender stems and fine, narrow 
foliage, Lilium Tenuifolium can be planted between carnations right in the 
benches. 
Bulbs of Lilium Tenuifolium are now obtainable at a low price, and we believe 
that florists will find them profitable, especially growers who operate in con¬ 
junction a retail store, as they are exceptional for basket work, etc.
