O0Ubl .% t SSS» TUBEROSE. 



This purewhite, perfectly double, delightfully fragrant 

 flower, invaluable for bouquets, is too well known to 

 need any description. It delights in a strong, rich, deep, 

 well-drained warm soil; manure, heat and water are 

 essential to its perfect development. Thisvariety, which 

 we introduced and named, grows only 24 inches, about 

 half the height of the old double sort, and the flowers 

 are nearly twice the size (often two inches in diameter), 

 and imbricated like a Camellia; deliciouBly fragrant. 

 (See cut.) Extra size bulbs, 4c. each, 35c. per doz., or 

 by express, purchaser paying carriage, 25c. per doz^,

 TUBEROSE, " AIiBITiO." 



A single white Tuberose. The flower spikes are very 

 large and evenly filled ; flowers in July and August, 

 throwingfromtwotofivefloTyer stems from a single 

 bulb, and these again are often branched. The petals 

 recurve gracefully, which adds greatly to the size of the 

 individual flower; it iB entirely free from the brown tint 

 common to the old sort on the back of the petals, being 

 of the purest waxy white, making it most valuable 

 for cut flowers. When first seen, it might be said to 

 resemble a Stephanotis, or some species of Jessamine as 

 much as a Tuberose, both in appearance and fragrance, 

 for the odor is less heavy than that of the ordinary 

 Tuberose. 5c. each, 50c. per doz. 



TUBEROSE, "Silver Leaf." 



Showy and effective, even when not in bloom, the 

 foliage being distinctly striped, white and green. Each 

 bulb frequently throws up two or more Bpikes, 3 to 4 

 feet high, each bearing from 25 to 40 pure white, waxy 

 flowers, much like an orange flower orStephanotiB, with 

 a delicate and enchanting perfume. They flower several 

 weeks earlier thandoubleTuberoses, and the bulbs bloom 

 year after year. 5c. each, 50c. per doz.
