LILIES 
OF THE VALLEY 
CONVALLARIA “FORTIN” 
One of our oldest customers has grown Lily of the Valley ‘Fortin’ for many years in her 
garden. This variety, and she has tried them all, is the only one which has established itself 
for more than ten years in her Piedmont garden. 
Will you do us a favor? If you have planted this variety please write and tell us whether 
t or not it has been successful. How did you plant—where—what soil conditions—amount of 
sun and water. We did not give you planting instructions last spring, and so, if by chance 
your planting was a complete failure, we will be happy to replace your original order free of 
charge. 
PRICE: 12 pips $3.00............. 100 pips $20.00 . Delivery in January, 1950. 
CALLA LILIES 
The pink and yellow Callas are summer blooming 
bulbs and should be planted from January until 
April. Plant bulbs about four inches deep, and 
keep well watered during the growing season. 
They can be left in the ground in the milder re- 
gions, but should be lifted, dried and stored in a 
frostless place when there is danger of frost. 
CALLA RHEMANI SUPERBA. This is a new and 
far superior variety. Flowers are fairly large and 
are pale pink. 
Price: 30c each $3.00 per dozen $25.00 per 100 
CALLA ELLIOTTIANA. The yellow calla lily has larger flow- 
ers than the pink and is a beautiful garden plant. Plant Feb- 
ruary to April. 
Price: 30c each $3.00 per dozen $25.00 per 100
