N O dweller in tbe 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 welcomed 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.
