Doliescop ie Valley 
NO DWELLER in the 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 3 inches apart 
and about 2 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. $8.00 for 10; $38.00 for 50; $75.00 per 100.
