Lily of the Valley
Set the roots in bunches 1 ft. apart, and before severe weather sets in cover them with a dressing of well-rotted manure.
They should not be disturbed, even by digging among the roots.
If grown in pots, they should be kept in a cool place and perfectly dry when their season is over: by watering they will soon come into foliage and flower again.
For forcing put ten or twelve "buds" in a 5-in. pot--any light soil will do--plunge the pot in a sheltered part of the garden.
From this they may be removed to the forcing-house as required to be brought into bloom.
Plunge the pots in cocoa-nut fibre and maintain an even temperature of from 65 to 70 degrees. Author: Alfred Pink :: Hits: 0 :: Added: Fri Apr 27 2007 ::
