FLORA.

 flowering plant, with stately flower 

 scapes and magnificent terminal 

 dense spikes of rich orange red 

 flower-tubes; familiarly known 

 from its glowing colors as tho 

 "Red-hot Poker." Hardy with

DOUBLE TUBEROSE. 



One of the most delightfully 

 fragrant and beautiful of the sum- 

 mer flowering bulbs, throwing up 

 tall spikes of double white flowers 

 three fo five feet high, which re- 

 main in bloom a long period. It 

 is now an indispensable article in 

 making up a bouquet or basket of 

 flowers at any time during the 

 year, as by skilful management a 

 succession of flowers can be ob- 

 tained. For early flowers they 

 can be started in February or 

 March, in the greenhouse or hot- 

 bed ; and for a succession they can 

 be planted at intervals as late as 

 August. For flowering in the 

 open borders, they can be planted 

 about the first of May; they will 

 then bloom in September. We 

 grow many thousands of these 

 roots, and are in a position to sup- 

 ply the finest bulbs. 10 cts. ; $1 

 per doz.; $(> per 100. Started in 

 pots for early flowering, $2 per 

 dozen. 



Double Tuberose, " Pearl." 



New Double Tuberose, "Pearl." 



The value of this sort over the common variety consists in its flowers being of large size, im- 

 bricated like a rose, and its dwarf habit, growing only from eighteen inches to two feet in 

 height; its short growth making it desirable as a pot plant or for winter forcing. 

 10 cts. ; SI per doz. ; $6 per hundred. Started in pots, $2 per doz. 

 Variegated-leaved Tuberose. Leaves striped with light yellow, very showy when planted 



in masses ; flowers single. 20 cts. ; $2 per doz.
