oration fades as the flower matures. Blooms September.

Per 100 .$7.50 
LILIUM TENUIFOLIUM 
(So-called "Miniature Lilium Rubrum") 
For under-glass culture, they can be planted in a Darwin 
Tulip bulb pan, set 4 inches deep and 3 inches apart, 
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. Color, 
brilliant scarlet. Flowers outdoors in June, perfectly hardy.

A. B. C. "Supreme" Quality Valley Pips 
LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY PIPS 
Re-selected Exhibition German Pips 
The reputation of A. B. C. Supreme Quality Lily-of-the-Valley is so well 
established in the trade that little can be added by any commendation 
on our part. 
Beside their cut-flower worth, Lily-of-the-Valley have an added sales value 
in that Pips can be sold profitably for planting in various receptacles in 
the home. They can easily be bloomed in four weeks, in moss, sand or soil. 
A great deal of interest can be created by displaying about 12 growing 
Pips in a fancy bowl in some prominent spot in your store. The ease with 
which they can be grown will interest most of your customers in buying 
them. If merchandised properly, you will find them an extremely profit¬ 
able item. 
Sold in guantities of 100, 250, 500 and 1000 Pips, from cold storage. 
They are available for immediate delivery. 
Prices on request. 
LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY CLUMPS 
For Outdoor Culture 
A permanent investment for your "Garden Planter" cus¬ 
tomers. Dozen.$3.00 100.$20.00 
FEEDING LILIES 
Put two bushels of fresh cow manure in a sack with a peck of soot (preferably the imported Scotch brand) added, and immerse in fifty gal¬ 
lons of water in a barrel. Allow this to stand a day before using. The liquid will be much too strong to use undiluted. At first, use one part 
liquid manure to five parts water; later, as the manure water becomes weaker, the concentration can be doubled. Varieties like Erabu, Gigan- 
teum, Candidum and Speciosum will stand heavier feeding than Auratum, Hansonii, Tenuifolium and Umbellatum. It will be necessary to give 
the bag of manure good pokings with a stick from time to time properly to exude the juicy liquid. All varieties of Lilies which are being pot grown 
for cut-flower purposes are much improved by waterings with liquid manure as soon as the pots are filled with roots.
