JAMES VICKS SONS, SEEDSMEN, ROCHESTER, N. V. 19 LILY OF THE VALLEY jx? fC f? j* No flower amid the garden fairer grozvsThan the sweet lily of the lowly vale. One of the most charming and greatly admiredplants grown. The bulbs, or pips, can be planted ina bed out doors, or they can be potted four to six ina four-inch pot which can lie left in a cool place fora time, and even if exposed to a sharp frost are notinjured, but apparently benefitted thereby, and thenwilh plenty of warmth, light and water, they willsoon produce beautiful green leaves and sprays oflovely white, exquisitely fragrant blossoms. One ormore pots may be sunk in the garden and left untilwanted. It requires from three to five weeks for them toperfect their (lowers if kept very warm and givenplenty of water. Like those of other bulbs the flowersare larger and very much finer when raised in thehouse than in the garden. EACH DOZ Vicks Extra Selected 5 50
