1 1 1 1 1 T M "^^^ ^^^y '^ ^^'^^^ styled the "Queen of 

 ■ ^It-«HJiTl.j Flowers," on account of its queenly 

 "-^ beauty, majestic grandeur and faultless 



purity. Nearly every variety will withstand the severity of 

 our winters, and manj- are among the most hard}- of our gar- 

 den flowers. Their culture is simple, and with "a little care 

 failure is impossible. The bulbs should be planted as soon as 

 the frost is out of the ground— the earlier the better. Select 

 a well drained spot, dig the soil deep, and make it fine, en- 

 riching it abundantly with verj* rotten cow manure, adding a 

 liberal mixture of sand. Set the bulbs from three to five 

 inches deep, according to size. During the winter it is 

 advisable to cover the surface of the bed with a thin layer of 

 manure, which will afford a slight protection to the bulbs and 

 also materially enrich the soil. In spring the manure may 

 be removed or dug in between the rows. Care should be 

 taken that they have proper drainage, no water being allowed 

 to stand around the roots. Once firmly established, they 

 should not be disturbed oftener than once in five years. To 

 produce extra fine specimens, plant the bulbs in small pots 

 (4-5 inches) early in spring, and raise them in the green-house 

 or house.

MADEIRA VINE-'TIIK.l^lS-^lf; 



Tuberous rooted climber, with glossy, green leaves, and 

 delightfully fragrant, white blossoms. Sometimes called 

 "Mignonette Vine."" It is of rapid growth, and from a few 

 tubers, vines will be produced sufficient to cover one side of a 

 cottage in a single season. The tubers are tender and must 

 be protected from frost during winter.

Madeira Vine, tubers 5 S*) 



XRiToriA, 



Sometimes called ''Red Hot Poker." 

 It is really a fine plant, pretty, hardy, 

 tough, requiring some protection 

 through winter. The flowers are produced in large spikes of 

 rich, orange-red tinted flower tubes. Plant two feet apart, 

 and in November cut the plants back near the ground, and 

 cover the bulbs with dry litter, which remove in the spring.

Tritoma Uvaria 25 2 50 



XUBEROSE. 



The flowers of this popular plant 

 are waxy white, double, and so 

 fragrant^ that they i^erfume the 

 whole atmosphere for some distance around. They are use- 

 ful in button-hole bouquets, in large bouquets, or as single 

 specimens Each bulb flowers but once, but the smaller 

 bulbs can be set out for fiuure flowering when their growth 

 is completed. A good way to grow Tuberoses is to fill five- 

 inch pots half full of cow manure, and the remainder with 

 good, rich earth, mixed with Sixnd. Plant the bulbs in this, in 

 April, water moderately, and hasten growth by putting in a 

 warm, light place. When weather has become warm, i^lunge 

 the pots in the earth out of dooi*s. They will usually flower 

 before cold weather: if they do not the pots can be brought 

 in, and they will bloom in the house. The bulbs cannot be 

 safely sent by mail before April 1st.
