MISS MARY E, MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK 



A7eTZ> Variegated Tuberose, 



This scarce variety has 

 been neglected because it has 

 been so high in price. Few have 

 ever grown, and not many i)eople 

 have ever seen it. It is a plant of 

 superior excellence, and 1 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. Th( 

 spike is graceful and is mucl: 

 more beautiful when cut thai 

 the other kinds. Blooms easiei 

 and three weeks earlier than th( 

 doubles. The bulbs bloom yeai 

 after jear, while the others dc 

 not.

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.
