A^<iL> Variegated Tuberose* 



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 conspicuous white band, mak- 

 ing it a beautiful border plant. 

 Flowers single, large white, de- 

 licious fragrance, but not nearly 

 so heavy as the double sort. The 

 spike is graceful and is much 

 more beautiful when cut than 

 the other kinds. Blooms easier 

 and three weeks earlier than the 

 doubles. The bulbs bloom year 

 after year, while the others do 

 not. 



Price, fine-blooming bulbs, 5c. 

 each ; 3 for 12c.; 7 for 25c. By 

 express, 50 for $1 .50; 100 for $2.

 plant May 1 and soon have 

 an elegant show of foliage.

How to Plant. _ 



Set out about the time you do 

 Coleus, 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 into 

 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.
