Bulbs You Can 
Lhes of the Valley 
Ready to Ship February 1. 
For the first time since World War II began 
we can offer imported lily of the valley pips 
prepared for forcing into flower in bowls. 
These beautiful, fragrant flowers may be 
brought to flower in 18 to 21 days, if pips from 
cold storage are used. They are easily forced 
in a bowl, if planted in sphagnum moss and 
kept well watered. Their dainty fragrance is 
preferred by many to the large Paper White 
Narcissi, and they are much quicker to flower. 
Do not order more than you intend to use at 
once as the cold storage pips will not keep. 
Plant about 25 pips in a 7-inch bowl, place in 
a warm temperature, 65 degrees Fahrenheit 
and shade from light until leaves and spikes 
are well developed, then admit light gradually. 
Increase temperature to 75 degrees or 80 
degrees if possible. An inverted pot over each 
bowl answers admirably to shade them. They 
may be forced in soil the same way, in a 7-inch 
pot or pan. ‘This is the treatment for cold 
storage pips only. 
COLD STORAGE PIPS, (Ready February 1). 12 for 
$2.50; 25 for $5.00, postpaid. 
SPHAGNUM MOSS, sufficient for 25 pips, 10c, 
postpaid. 
Amary Lss 
(Illustrated in Color on Cover F) 
@)vR strain of giant flowered amaryllis is 
rich in briliant red, and lovely white 
flowers, with many in which the white ground 
is vividly marked with contrasting tones of 
red, pink and salmon. In size, this strain has 
never been surpassed. 
Of all bulbs which the amateur can grow 
successfully indoors, the Amaryllis is the 
Jargest, most beautiful, surest to flower and 
most easily handled. Our new hybrids, es- 
pecially are so gorgeous in size and coloring 
as to amaze those not familiar with them. 
Place only one bulb in each pot, covering 
it as far as the neck or upper narrow part. 
Water sparingly at first until the flower shoots 
begin to appear. Some growers keep them 
in the dark until the flower stems are four 
or five inches long, and then bring to light. 
After flowering they should be placed in a 
warm window, or set outside in sand or cinders 
and watered every day (sometimes twice a 
day), until the end of August when water 
shouJd be gradually withheld and the bulbs 
allcwed to go to rest. In the fall they can be 
forced again as with new bulbs. 
MIXED. Flowers are immense, in an amazing range 
of color blends, splashed and striped in a manner 
not seen in other strains
