Mmm n*rl*tJ Fore* Their Growth *nd I'rtv
tract Tkitr Season ot Blooming.
There is an interesting and curious
Inkle between Germany and this
>try in tae lily of the valley.
rthousands of these lily ' pips,"
ae they are called, the roota, each
with a single tight wrapped mid, are
imported. As the habit of the plant
i| well known, and it may be count-
ed upon to flower in from 19 to 23
days after the pip has been planted
in sand and placed in a forcing
house, the importers commonly make
their contracts in advance with flor-
ists and order in accordance with
these contracts. The pips come ovctf
in the holds of the great steamers, 2S
bunched together, tied with a veg-
etable fiber and wrapped in moss.
Tbayare thus delivered* to the flor-
ists and then transferred to the forc-
ing house. In five or six weeks
from the time when the meaningless
looking pips have left their native
German soil the exquisite spray of
drooping white bells and the sheaf of
green leaves are adorning the jacket
of some young woman as she trips
down Broadway.
When the pips are first planted in
sand, they must be placed over steam
pipes for the sake of the bottom heat!
&d kept continuously in a high torn-
Sjrature until the blossom is pretty
ell advanced. They aro then re-
moved from the pipes in order that
the time of blooming may \x> pro-
waged. They are ordinarily planted
In rough, shallow pine boxes, and
spray after spray is elipi>od off as it
is needed for bbuquets, or roots and
all are transferred in clumps for pot-
ting. The plants in the original plno
boxes are much less attractive than
the blossom when made into a bou-
quet
Many thousands of these lilies are
cultivated in the open air. They
may be set out just as they arrive
from Germany at almost any time of
year, and they resist frost with per-
fect hardiness. The outdoor Jiliert
bloom in the spring and continuo the
season for the florists after the crop
of the forcing houses has tjeen ex-
hausted. When these outdoor bloom-
ers aro exhausted, the florists have
another resource in reserve. Thou-
sands of lily pips on arriving from
Germany are at once placed in
cold storage and kept there at a
low temperature for weeks or per-
haps for months. The development
of the plants is thus arrested, and
tome weeks before the time when
the outdoor bloomers will have been
exhausted part of the pips on cold
storage are brought forth and either
forced indoors or permitted to devel
op normally in the open air. In this
way the season is further extended.
Rorists find that the lily of the
valley is most difficult to manage for
autumn flowering. The period of de-
velopment is then at least 20 days,
and the flowers are upon the whole
lesB satisfactory than in winter and
spring.
Beautiful as the flower is, it is not
expensive. The pips may be bought
at retail in November at from w to
40 cents per dozen or about tliiO per
hundred. The price to the Importers
is far below this, and fjjo rate to flor-
ists is such that there is a handsome
ofit in the plants when the out
retail as low as r cents per
spray. As each pip produces only
one set of blossoms and the percent-
age of loss is reasonably uniform,
florists know pretty well what to
count on in forcing the lily of the
valley.—New York Sun.

Bight, when the physician wai
aroused by the ringing of his door
belL He jumped out of bed, put on

muffled to the ears, standing on hi<
front step. He asked:
"What do yon want at this late
hour!"
"I'm Mr. Carr," was tho answer.
"W*ll, go home. I am not respon-
sible If yon did miss a car. Why did
ycra stay out 60 late ?"
- The window went down with a
bang, and the doctor went back to
bed.
The bell rang again, the doctor put
hia head ont of the window and saw
the same man on the step.
"Doctor, doctor! I'm Mr. Carr."
"WalLif yon did miss your car,
what Jjave I to do with it?"
"Carr, doctor, Carr. Don't yot!
