Souv. Gabrielle Drevet (Tea)—Salmon pink, 
with center of coppery rose ; each petal has a small white 
center of good size and form. We regard it as one of the 
very best introductions of later years. It is superbly rich, 
belonging to the class of “ Tulip Roses,” carrying such fine 
combinations of color. Very satisfactory in habit, growth 
and freedom of bloom; the buds are carried on heavy, stiff 
stems, probably one reason why they keep so well after 
being cut. 
Souvenir de la Malmaison(JBourbon)—Anoble 
Rose. The’flower is extremely large and double to the 
center. Color flesh white, clear and fresh. Has been con¬ 
sidered the finest Bourbon Rose for forty years. Its great 
beauty in the summer and fall makes it one of the finest of 
all Roses at that season. A flower that is universally popu¬ 
lar, will always be so. 
W© can furnish, of Roses on their own roots the following varieties, out of door grown 
plants, one year old, at 25 cents each, $1.50 per dozen.

Fertilize your Roses highly as they are great feeders and will pay you well. Cow manure, if obtainable, is the best. 
Next to that is “Bradley’s Orange Tree Fertilizer.” We will willingly answer questions of our customers if a stamp is 
enclosed for reply. 
SPECIALTIES. 
To those interested in raising Lily bulbs from seed, we 
offer seed of the Milla Biflora, also the Coral Lily of Siberia. 
IVIILLA BIFLORA-Frost Work. 
The flowers have the oddest and most beautiful appearance 
imaginable. They appear like the most beautiful wax work, 
only enlivened by a living sparkle. The center is lovely ; 
anthers are a delicate lemon yellow; the pistil is curiously 
carved, and usually covered with honeydew. The fragrance 
is delightful. 
These bulbs are bringing to-day at wholesale $35.00 per 
thousand. They need but little care to grow them, and as 
they are small, thousands of them can be raised on a quarter 
of an acre of ground. Any boy or girl in Florida, with any 
desire at all to make money, could do exceedingly well at 
raising Milla Bifloras. We will sell a small quanty of seed, 
and be glad to purchase the bulbs when ready for sale. 
Price of seed, per packet, $1.00.

CORAL LILY OF SIBERIA. 
This superb Lily is entirely distinct from all others. The 
perfect symmetry of the entire plant, foliage and flower is 
wonderful. Its spike of scarlet flame-like flowers is held 
erect like a flambeau at night. The texture of the flower is 
like a piece of coral, of the most brilliant red we ever saw. 
Set off with most telling contrast with its graceful fern-like 
foliage of emerald-green. The foliage is slender and graceful, 
attenuated, from which fact it takes its name,L. Tenuifoilum. 
It is a native of Siberia, and, of course, perfectly hardy. 
Blooms very early. 
These bulbs are selling at wholesale to-day for $15.00 per 
hundred, or $125.00 per thousand. They can be grown just 
as" easy as the Milla Biflora, and the prices received are 
wonderful. We have succeeded in securing at a reasonable 
figure a small amount of seeds of this bulb for those who 
send for it first. No favoritism will be shown in its distri¬ 
bution. We will also be glad to purchase bulbs raised from 
this seed. With each order for bulb seed we will send 
directions for growing, etc. Packet, $1.00.
