One of the most charming of spring flowering plants, bearing slender stems set with tiny bells, which difttise a delicious odor. They are largely used for forcing in winter and can be flowered in the house. To secure good results the pips or crowns should be kept in a cold place until wanted for flowering. If they have been kept in a frozen state, they should be gradually thawed out before placing in heat. If to be forced in green- houses, the pips should be placed on the benches and covered with moss, and kept in a steady temperature of 70 to 75 degrees. Water should be liberally supplied and the pips shaded until the stems are 2 or 8 inches high, when the shading should be removed in order to develop the flowers. The pips we offer are the best quality German, and have been grown in deep sandy land. (Rea
