Doable Duuatff Peari Tuberose. 



This pure white, 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 tc its perfect development. This variety, 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, 6c. each, 40c. 

 per doz., $2.60 per 100. (If wanted by mail, add for postage Vic. per doz. extra; single bulbs mailedfree.) 



rlEUi TUBEROSE, "AliBiriO." 



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, throwing from two to five flower stems from a single 'bulb, 



and these again ale often branched, but its great merit above all other Tuberoses is that it is entirely free from 



the brown tint common 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. (See cut.) 10c. each, $1.00 per doz., $7.00 per 100. (If wanted by mail, add for postage 10c. per dozen extra; 



single bulbs mailedfree.) 



Tuberose, "Silver Leaf." 



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

 always showy and effective, even when not in bloom, the foli- 

 age being distinctly striped, white and green. Each bulb fre- 

 quently 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 Tube- 

 roses, and the bulbs bloom year after year. 10c. each, 75c. 

 per doz., $6.00 per 100. (If wanted by mail, add for postage 

 10c. per doz. extra ; single bulbs mailedfree.)
