FINE TUBEROSES 



The pure, waxy whiteness and exquisite fragrance of Tuheroses is proverbial; they rank 

 with the sweetest and most beautiful flowers in existence. Tuberoses grow eighteen inches to 

 two feet high, and the flower-spikes are eight to ten inches long, crowded full of pure white, 

 waxy flowers, of most delicious sweetness. They are very easily grown, and certain to bloom. 

 The bulbs can be started indoors in April, but are usually planted where they are to remain, 

 after the ground gets warm and the weather settled ; they cannot bear much cold. If not done 

 blooming when frost comes, lift, and take indoors, and they will continue to open for weeks and 

 perfume the whole house. We send fine selected bulbs, sure to bloom.
