Tuberoses

known, that but little description will be 
necessary. By many they have been en- 
dorsed as the most delicious of all the

the Tuberose in fragrance. They produce 
long spikes of waxy-like pure white. 
flowers, and to those who have never 
grown this popular favorite would say, 
in my opinion no flower garden is com- 
plete without a few stalks of Tuberoses. 
My stock of bulbs is very fine this year, 
will bloom profusely the coming season.
