The Lily Of the Valley.

Few plants are more highly priced
than lily of the valley, the flowers of
which are ~favorites with every one, and
deservedly so. as not only are they de-
~liciously fragrant, but they are unri-
vailed for their matchless purity and for
working up into boquets. The COM
mon English kind is very lovely, but it
is cxcelled by a variety from the Cont
nent which has much larger bells and
LONGER and stouter tlower-stalks, andis,
therefore, a most desirable sort to
GROW. Those who would have beds of
#, and plenty for forcing another year,
will find the present a good time to
start, as the roots being now on the
move, they may be pulled apart and in
creased to almost any extent. The best
way to begin is to buy the large clumps,
as these consist of numbers of leaf
rowns each of which may be made
to form separate plants if broken of
with a portion of the large root at
tached. One of the most suitable places
to grow lily of the valley is between
tall rows of apple trees, as it is q plant
that requires shade, it being naturally
found in woods, where its creeping rhi-
zones spread just under the surface Of
the ground, after the manner OF spear
grass. Besides the requisite shade, ALL
other thing of great Importance to theA
welfare of the lily of the valley is the K
rich vegetable matter it is so fond of,
which may be afforded it in the shape
of decomposed leaves and hot-bed ma
nure, and a good dressing of these
should be worked into the soil and well
mixed up. The readiest way to do this
and to plant lily of the valley is to mark
out beds about q yard OF so wide, throw Y
out the top three inches of earth, and I
then digin the manure and leaf mold. !
when the plants may be laid regularly I
over the surface a foot or so apart and
covered by casting the soil over them {
that has been laid on one side. 10 act
as a mulching and as a further pro-
lection and nourishment to the plants, /
it is q good plan to top-dress the bed I
with rotten manure and let it remain
for the summer, by doing which a uni
form degree of moisture is maintained
and the ground kept cool and shaded.
Treated in this way, lily Of the valley
grows very strong and develops fine
crowns, and it is only from such as
these that flowers a be had. Plants
that have been used for forcing, al
though not SO good as others, need not
be discarded, as they will do for max
ing beds, and should be turned out oil
their pots with as little disturbance as
possible. A capital situation to grow
lilly of the valley, where only a few are
required, is close along the foot of
north wall, where, if the ground is pre-
pared after the manner already de-
scribed. it will be found to do wonder.
