PANCRATIUM 

 CALATHINUM. 



Henderson's Double Dwarf Pearl Tuberose. 



This variety, introduced and named by us, has proven so 

 superior to the old tall double Tuberose that the latter has 

 been practically crowded out of existence. 



Henderson's Pearl Tuberose is of dwarf, stocky growth, the 

 flower spikes attaining a height of about 2 feet, and are com- 

 pactly filled for two-thirds of their length with very large, 

 perfectly double flowers, Vi to 2 inches across, of nearly 

 twice the size of the old sort. The flowers have the waxy- 

 like substance of a Camellia, are glistening white and de- 

 liriously fragrant. The bulbs planted in the garden in May, 

 in warm, rich soil in a sunny position, flower with great cer- 

 tainty in the fall, when they are not only very decorative 

 but their agreeable perfume pervades their immediate neigh- 

 borhood. If early flowers are wanted, the bulbs may be 

 started in pots in the house from February to April, remov- 

 ing the plants to open ground when it is warm enough in 

 May. Price, extra large flowering bulbs, 4c. each, 40c. per 

 doz., S2.50 per 100. For Free Delivery add 10c. per doz.

 quisitely spotted, flowering very freely throughout the 

 summer. (See cut.)

 mence flowering in July. It is also admirably 

 adapted for pot culture, and can be forced

EARLY-FLOWERING BRANCHING 



MEXICAN TUBEROSE. 



A single white Tuberose. The flower spikes are 

 very large and evenly filled; it commences to flower 

 in July and August, throwing from two to five flower 

 stems from a single bulb. The petals recurve grace- 

 fully, which adds greatly to the size of the individual 

 flower; it is entirely free from the brown tint com- 

 mon to the old sort on the back of the petals, being 

 of the purest waxy-white, making it most valuable 

 for cut flowers. When first seen it might be said 

 to resemble a Stephanotis, or some species of Jessa- 

 mine, as much as a Tuberose, both in appearance 

 and fragrance, for the odor is less heavy than that 

 of the ordinary Tuberose. (See cut.) Price, (>c. 

 each, 65c. per doz., $5.00 per 100. For Free Deliv- 

 ery add Be. per doz. 



TUBEROSE, "SILVER LEAF." 



Showy and effective, even when not in bloom, the 

 foliage being distinctly striped white and green. 

 Each bulb frequently 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 Stephan- 

 otis, with a delicate and enchanting perfume. They 

 flower several weeks earlier than double Tuberoses, 

 and the bulbs bloom year after year. Price 6c. each, 

 65c. per doz., $4.50 per 100. For Free Delivery add 

 5c. per doz. 



ZEPHYRANTHES. 



Dwarf bulbous plants, very effective for 

 planting out in masses in May, flowering in 

 great profusion during the summer and fall. 

 They are also most suitable for pot culture.
