ALBANY NURSERIES, Incorporated 
which it can be forced into flower in winter has made it wonderfully popular 
as a winter flower. Tens of thousands of it are grown every year for church 
decorations at Easter. 
LONGIFLORUM — A well known beautiful variety, with snowy white trum 
pet shaped flowers that are very fragrant. It is quite hardy and blooms freely 
in the open ground in June and July. It is also used largely for forcing for 
the Easter holidays; the flowers have more substance and last longer than 
the Bermuda Lily. 
TIGRINUM FL. PL. — (Double Tiger Lily) — Bright orange scarlet with 
dark spots; a very strong growing showy variety, and entirely hardy. Suc- 
ceeds well everywhere. 
SPECIOSUM RUBRUM — White, beautifully spotted red; flowers in Aug- 
ust. This is one of the most useful of the Lily family, perfectly hardy, and 
flowering well under all circumstances. 
SPECIOSUM ALBUM — Very fragrant large flowers, pure white with a 
green band running through the center of each petal. One of the best. 
NARCISSUS — (Narcissus) — We have a choice collection of these fragrant 
winter blooming plants. 
TIGRIDIA — One of the most showy of all summer bulbs, and blooms from 
mid-summer until frost, growing three feet high, . with large wide-open tri- 
angular blooms, 4 to 6 inches across. The colors and markings are very 
brilliant and peculiarly odd and attractive, and clumps of them in the border 
have a most gorgeous effect. It is difficult to name a flower of such unique 
and exquisite beauty as a Tigridia, the superb spotting being so self-like and 
handsome. They are easily grown and always more than satisfactory. 
TUBEROSE — (Polianthes Tuberose) — These deliciously fragrant plants 
should be in every garden. This valley is particularly adapted to their suc- 
cessful culture. 
TULIPS — (Tulip) — Owing to the late spring frosts in the colder sections, 
bedding plants cannot safely be planted in such localities before the early 
spring-flowering bulbs are through blooming. Without these bulbs, for one 
or two months of beautiful spring weather, our gardens would present a bare 
appearance. We know of nothing that for the money invested will give a 
more gorgeous show during early spring and there is nothing more easily 
grown than the Tulip. They thrive well in almost any soil. Should be 
planted in October or November. 
ROSES . 
Very great progress has been made in the last few years in rose culture, 
and the best list of roses today would not contain many varieties that were 
the best a few seasons ago. From the ends of the earth new varieties and 
new species are gathered, new hybrids are produced and new seedlings are
