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 compactly filled for two-thirds of their length with 



very large, perfectly double flowers. 1)2 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 deliciously fragrant. The bulbs planted in the garden in 



May. in warm, rich soil in a sunny position, flower with great certainty in the 



fall, when they are not only very decorative but their agreeable perfume per- 



v,ades their immediate neighborhood. If early flowers are wanted, the bulbs 



may be started in pots in the house from February to April, removing the 



plants to open ground when it is warm enough in May. Price, extra large 



flowering bulbs. 4c. each; 40c. per doz.; $2.50 per 100. (.See cut.)

EARLY^FLOWERING 



Branching Mexican Tuberose 



A single whitL- 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 gracefully, 

 which adds greatly to the size of the individual flower; it is entirely free 

 from the brown tint common 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 

 5 less heavy than that of the ordinary Tuberose. Price, 6c. each; 65c. per 

 doz.; $5.00 per 100. For Free Delivery add lOc per doz. 



Tuberose ''Silver Leaf 



Showy and effective, even when not in bloom, the foliage be- 

 ing 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 Stephanotis, with a delicate and enchanting per- 

 fume. They flower several weeks earlier than double 

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

 each; 65c. per doz.; S4.S0 per 100.

Water is always an important feature in garden and land- 

 scape effects, especially so when the margins are suitably 

 treated with plants and the surface embellished with beautiful 

 Water Lilies. The great diversity in size, color and other 

 features among the Water Lilies gives to Water Gardening 

 a fascination, interest and charm not experienced in any other 

 style of gardening. 



A Water Garden may be enjoyed in a sunny back yard as 

 well as in large gardens or pretentious grounds. When natural 

 conditions of water or soil are not found, artificial ponds, 

 basins, tanks or tubs may be utilized and the results will be 

 equally satisfactory, often more so.
