New Tuberose, "Albino." 



Early Flowering — Branching. 

 The distinctive features of this single white tuberose are such as to make it 

 most popular. The petals recurve gracefully, which add greatly to the size of 

 the individual flower. The flower spikes are very large and evenly filled ; 

 flowers in July and August, th>- awing from two to five flower stems 

 from a single bulb, and these again are often branched, but its great merit 

 above all other Tuberoses is that it is entirely free from the brown tint com- 

 mon to the old sort on the back of the petals, the tube and expanded sepals 

 being of the purest waxy white, making it one of the most valuable plants ever 

 introduced for cut flowers. This characteristic is so distinct that when first 

 seen, being single, 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. Price, 15c. each, $1.60 

 perdoz., $lu.00 per 100. {If wanted byma.il, add for postage 10c. per dozen extra; 

 single bulbs mailed free.) 



Tuberose, "Silver Leaf." 



This beautiful variety deserves to be largely grown, as it is always showy and 

 effective even when not in bloom, the foliage being distinctly striped, white 

 and green. Each bulb frequently throws up two or more spikes 3 to 4 feet 

 high, each bearing from 25 to 40 pure white, waxy flowers, much like an orange 

 flower or Stephanotis, with a delicate and enchanting perfume. They flower 

 several weeks earlier than double tuberoses, and the bulbs bloom year after 

 year. Price, 10c. each, $1.00 per dozen, $6.00 per 100. {If wanted by mail, add 



for postage 10c. per dozen 

 extra; single bulbsmailedfree.) 



DOUBLE DWARF 

 PEARL TUBEROSE. 



This pure white, perfectly 

 double, delightfully fra- 

 grant 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 per- 

 fect development. This va- 

 riety, which we introduced 

 and named, grows only 

 twenty-four 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 ; deliciously fragrant. 

 {See cut.) Extra size bulbs, 5c. each, 50c. per dozen, $3.50 per 100. {If 

 wanted by mail, add for postage 10c. per doz. extra ; single bulbs mailedfree.) 



MEXICAN STAR or FROST FLOWER. 



(Milla biflora.) 

 A beautiful Mexican summer-blooming bulb. A group of them is 

 always in flower after the middle of summer and very attractive. 

 Flowers, star-shaped, 2 inches across, clear waxy white, of great sub- 

 stance, enlivened by a frost-like sparkle; the fragrance is delightful. 

 Place a stalk in water and the flowers will all open ; we have seen 11 

 stalks shoot up successively from one bulb. The bulbs flower pro- 

 fusely and with great certainty. Height, 12 to 18 inches. For an 

 effective display, groups of 12 to 25 or more should be planted about 

 six inches apart in a sunny bed. Price, 5c. each, 50c. per dozen, 

 $3.75 per 100, free by mail.
