TUBEROSES 
Mexican Everblooming. We have tried to grow 
double Tuberoses in Texas for a number of years, 
but with very poor success, the flowers always 
blighting when they open, and on this account 
give very poor satisfaction. Last year our atten- 
tion 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 continuously, 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 
winter 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 in- 
crease 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 
investment they have ever made in the flower line. 
10 cts. each, 75 cts. per doz. 
Pearl. This pure white, perfectly double, de- 
lightfully fragrant flower, invaluable for bouquets, 
delights in a strong, rich, deep, well-drained, warm 
soil ; manure, heat and water are essential to its 
perfect development. loc., each, 75c. per doz. 
VERBENA 
This IS one of the most satisfactory 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 con- 
founded with the common Verbenas usually sold. 
The colors range through all the shades of scarlet, 
crimson, white, blue, pink and variegated. 5 cts. 
each, 50 cts. per doz. 
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. It 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.
