SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS 



tti 



15 



MADEIRA VINE. 



The old favorite, " Climbing Mignonette." So much 

 prized for porches and arbors, on account of its rapid growth 

 and freedom from insects. Thick, glossy leaves, and long, 

 hanging stems of feathery, fragrant, white flowers. The 

 tubers we offer are selected large size. Price, 5c. each, 

 50c. per doz., S3.50 per 100. 



MILL A BIFLORA. 



(Mexican Star or Frost Flower.) 



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

 great substance, enlivened by a frost-like sparkle; the fra- 

 grance 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 profusely and with great 

 ■certainty. Height, 12 to 18 inches. For an effective dis- 

 play, groups of 12 to 25 or more should be planted about 6 

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

 54.00 per 100. 



MONTBRETIA. 



The Montbretia is one of the most floriferous and showy of 

 summer-flowering bulbous plants. A dozen or more bulbs 

 planted 6 inches apart in a group in a sunny position and 

 allowed to remain will form magnificent clumps from 2 to 3 

 feet across, producing, in great numbers, graceful spikes 8 to 

 12 inches long, each spike bearing from 18 to 30 exceedingly 

 showy star-shaped flowers, 1£ to 2 inches across. They 

 flower freely the first season, but clumps of 2 or 3 years stand- 

 ing are required to bring out their great merits. 

 Montbretia Croeosmiaeflora. Orange, suffused-red. 

 " Mixed hybrids. Various colors. 



Price, either of the above sorts, 5c. each, 50c. per doz., S3.00 

 per 100. 



OXALIS, Summer-Flowering. 



Valuable for edging walks, flower beds, etc. Bulbs planted 

 3 inches apart form rounded rows of delicate foliage, about 1 

 foot high, which produce flowers in endless succession. 

 Lasiandra. Rosv-pink. Price, 15c. doz., SI .00 per 100.

PANCRATIUM CALATHINUM. 



Handsome clusters of large, striking, very fra- 

 grant, pearly -white flowers. Bulbs should be 

 kept warm and dry, and planted out in the middle 

 of May. They will then commence flowering in 

 July. It is also admirably adapted for pot cul- 

 ture, and can be forced into flower in 6 to 8 weeks' 

 time. Price, 25c. each, S2.50 per doz. 



Henderson's Double Dwar . 



PEARL TUBEROSE. 



This variety, introduced and named by us, has 

 proven so superior to the old tall double tuberose 

 that the latter has been practically crowded out 

 of existence. 



Henderson's Pearl Tuberose is of dwarf, stocky 

 growth, the flower spikes attaining a height of 

 about 2 feet, and are compactly filled for two- 

 thirds of their length with very large, perfectly 

 double flowers, li to 2 inches across, or nearly 

 twice the size of the old sort. The flowers have 

 the waxy-like substance of a Camellia, are glisten- 

 ing white and deliciously fragrant. The bulbs, 

 planted in the garden in May, in warm, rich soil 

 in a sunny position, flower in the fall. Price, 

 extra large flowering bulbs, 5c. each, 50c. per doz., 

 $3.00 per 100 (delivered free in the U. S.), or 

 if buyer pays carriage, 35c. per doz., S2.00 per 100. 



Early-Flowering Branching 



MEXICAN TUBEROSE. 



A single white Tuberose. The flower spikes 

 are very large and evenly filled; it commences to 

 flower in July and August, throwing from two 

 to five flower stems from a single bulb. Of 

 the purest waxy-white, making it most valuable 

 for cut flowers. (See cut.) Price, 10c. each, $1.00 

 per doz.. $7.00 per 100, delivered free in XJ. S. 



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 spikes, 3 to 4 feet high, each bearing from 

 25 to 40 pure white, waxy flowers. They flower 

 several weeks earlier than double Tuberoses. 

 Price (delivered free in U. S.), 7c. each, 75c. per 

 doz., S5.00 per 100. 



TUBEROUS WISTARIA. 



(Apios Tnberosa.) 



An elegant climbing plant, growing from 8 to 

 10 feet high, bearing large clusters of brownish- 

 purple sweet-scented flowers in July. The tubers 

 may be planted any time in spring, the earlier 

 the better, and as they are perfectly hardy, they 

 require no further attention. The vine dies down 

 every winter, but starts early in the spring.
