MEXICAN EVER-BLOOM- 
ING TUBEROSE 
We have tried to grow double 
Tuberoses in Texas for a number 
of years, but with very poor suc- 
cess, the flowers always blighting 
when they open, and on this ac- 
count give very poor satisfaction. 
Last year our attention was called 
to the new Mexican Single Ever- 
blooming Tuberose, and we 
planted a large trial bed. We find 
this to be the most beautiful and 
useful Tuberose we have ever 
tried to grow. It blooms continu- 
ously, beginning in June and con- 
tinuing till frost, and the flowers 
are very fragrant. Any one can 
grow them. All they require is to 
be watered during the extremely 
warm weather. This flower will 
keep a week after being cut, and 
can be shipped long distances with 
good success. The bulbs can be 
left in the ground during the win- 
ter in the southern part of the 
state. Where the weather is very 
cold, they should be dug up and 
put away in a cellar or some place 
where they will not freeze. Every 
bulb blooms, and they increase 
enormously. We want every one 
of our customers to get some of 
these bulbs this season, and we 
feel sure that they will all say, 
when they begin to bloom in the 
summer, that it is the best invest- 
ment they have ever made in the 
flower line, to cts. each, 75 cts. 
per doz.

MEXICAN EVER-BLOOMING TUBEROSE 
VIOLETS 
The Violet grows more popular each season, 
and no home should be without a few plants. 
They are easy of culture, and require little care. 
California. Single flowers of deepest blue or 
purple, borne on stems 8 to 12 inches long. Can 
be worn nicely as a corsage bouquet. We grow 
large quantities of this variety for cut-flowers, and 
can rarely supply the demand. Is of exquisite 
perfume, and one of the most popular Violets 
grown, both for the house and garden. 5 cts. 
each, 50 cts. per. doz. 
Princess of Wales. Of French origin, and 
considered the finest single Violet grown. It is of 
the same size as California, but the color is 
beautiful, rich, soft violet-purple ; stems strong, 
stout, from g to 12 inches long. 5 cts. each, 50 
cts. per doz. 
CALIFORNIA VIOLETS 
This is one of the most satis- 
factory plants for the South ; a bed 
of it is a mass of bloom the whole 
summer ; the hotter the weather the better it 
blooms. We have a splendid collection of the 
Mammoth or large-flowering varieties, which 
must not be confounded with the common Ver- 
benas usually sold. The colors range through all 
the shades of scarlet, crimson, white, blue, pink 
and variegated. 5 cts. each, 50 cts. per doz.
