Superfine American Seedlings.. 



EXCELSIOR 



PEARL 

 TUBEROSES. 



These are the 

 best of all Tube- 

 roses to plant. 

 They are dwarfs, 

 and the immense 

 spike stands erect, 

 covered almost to 

 the foliage with 

 very large double 

 flowers, sometimes 

 as many as 50 on a 

 spike. 



Large bulbs, 

 sure to bloom, 5c 

 each ; 40c. per 

 dozen; $2 per 100, 

 by express. 



Extra large 

 bulbs, 6c. each; 

 express. 



HOW TO PLANT. 



Set out about the time vou do Coletis, in rich, warm 

 soil. Firm the soil around the bottom of the bulb 

 with your hand, and have the top of the bulb just 

 covered with dirt. When the flowers begin to open, 

 if you take the plant up and put it in a pot or box and 

 place it on the piazza or out of the sun and storms all 

 the flowers will open very white and full.

Yellow Mixture, 3 for 

 10c; 



This scarce variety has been neglected because it 

 has been so high in price. Few have ever grown, and 

 not many people have ever seen it. It is a plant of ' 

 superior excellence, and I have put the price within 

 the reach of all. The leaves are bordered with a con- 

 spicuous white band, making it a beautiful border 

 plant. Flowers single, large white, delicious fragrance, but not nearly so 



heavy as the double sort. The 

 spike is graceful and is much

NEW TWICE BEARING 



FRENCH STRAWBERRY 



IEW VARIEGATED 

 TUBEROSE, 



ST. JOSEPH. 



This new berry is of excel- 

 lent flavor, dark red in color, 

 large size and firm, but its 

 leading characteristic is its 

 strong tendency to bear two 

 full crops in a season. Indeed 

 its tendency is to keep throw- 

 ing up flower stems from May to 

 Autumn, but it is better after 

 taking off the Spring crop to 

 pinch off the blossoms and you 

 will get a heavy Fall crop.
