Madeira Vine 
The old favorite, “Climbing Mignonette,” so much 
prized for porches and arbors on account of its rapid 
growth and freedom from insects. Thick, glossy 
leaves, and long, hanging stems of feathery, fragrant 
white flowers. The tubers we offer are selected large 
size. ((2 for 15c); (75c doz.) 
Tuberoses 
(MEXICAN EVERBLOOMING) 
The most fragrant of all tuberoses and a wonderful 
bloomer. Flowers are pure white and clustered from 
six to a dozen on stiff stems, making them excellent 
for cut flowers. The bulbs of these multiply from 
year to year, producing great masses which should 
be separated and transplanted every three years. They 
are very hardy and will grow and bloom in the warm 
inland valleys equally as well as on the coast. A dozen 
bulbs will plant a row six feet long. (2 for 15c); (60c 
doz.) 
EXCELSIOR DOUBLE PEARL —This variety is 
grown largely for its individual flowers which are 
large and double. The spikes are dwarf and full flow¬ 
ered. The culture is the same as for the Mexican 
variety. (10c each); (75c doz.)
