Bulbs and Tubers for Summer Flowering. 



TUBEROSES. 



The Tuberose is a universal favorite, and largely grown 

 on account of its delightful fragrance. The flowers are of a 

 beautiful pure waxy white color, and grow on tall stems. 

 Excelsior Pearl. Dwarf and compact. Very large, choice 



and well-cured bulbs. 5 cts. each, 50 cts per dozen. 

 Italian Tall Double. 5 cts. each, 50 cts. per dozen. 

 Variegated, or Silver-L/eaved. Foliage striped white and 



green ; the bulb frequently throws up two or more spikes, 



bearing in profusion pure white, waxy, single flowers ; 



blooms several weeks earlier than the double variety. 



6 cts. each, 60 cts. per dozen. 



NEW TUBEROSE, AEBIXO. 



An Early-Flowering, Branching Sort, Unsurpassed for Forcing. 



The distinctive features of this single white Tuberose are 

 its recurving petals, large and evenlv filled flower spikes, 

 which open 30 days earlier than the old single variety, and 

 the profuse flowering habit of the bulbs, which produce from 

 2 to 6 flower-stems each, and these again are often branched. 

 But the flowers have none of 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 ; very valuable 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, as much as a Tuberose, both in 

 appearance and fragrance, for the odor is less heavy than 

 that of the ordinary Tuberose. 10 cts. each, Si per dozen. 



DAHEIAS. 



This stately and handsome autumn flower will always be 

 popular wherever display is wanted, because of its perfect form 

 and wide range of color. Plant the tubers out in the spring 

 after all danger of frost is past, and at the end of the season 

 winter them over in a dry and cool cellar. 

 S«»parate Colors. All from choice varieties, 10 cts. each. 



Si per dozen. 



When sent by mail, add 5 cts. each for postage. 



OI.ADIOU. 



These fine summer-blooming bulbs produce flowers of every shade of color, and some of 

 them are marvels of beauty. They are of the easiest culture, and their brilliant spikes appear 

 the first year. As soon as the ground is sufliciently warm and dry, make plantings at interv 

 of two weeks during the spring months, thus providing a succession of bloom from midsummer 

 until frost. In the fall the bulbs can be taken up and stored over winter in any dry place, and 

 will be ready for planting next season. No bulbs give finer results in comparison with the mod- 

 nd expense requiredjthan Gladioli, and in the past few years the flowers 

 have been greatly improved by hybridization. Sent,
