Double Dwarf Pearl 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 waterare _ 
essential to 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, 5c. each, 40c. 
per doz. 
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, throwing 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 
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, a8 much asa 
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. 
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 
Tuberoses, and the bulbs bloom year after year. 10c. each, 
75c. per doz.

ag Mexiean Coral Drops.

succession during fully two months of simmer and autumn. A bulb frequently throws up from 6 
to 10 spikes in succession. Color, bright vermilion marked with rosy white. For an effective

inches apart. 5c. each, 40c. per doz.
