 The illustration shows a single spike and part of a bed of our 

 Tuberoses as they appear in bloom. They are among the sweetest and 

 most beautiful flowers in existence. The bulbs may be started in the house 

 in April, but usually do best planted where they are to remain after the 

 ground gets warna and weather settled; do not plant before 

 ground is warm, as they cannot hear much cold. The bulbs will 

 keep in any warm, dry place till wanted. Plant three inches deep and six 

 inches apart. If not done blooming when frost comes, lift and take indoors, 

 and they will continue to bloom for weeks and perfume the whole house. 

 We send large, selected bulbs, all sure to bloom.
