Tritoma Pfitzeri 
Lil ies-of-the-V alley 
Montbretias 
Lily-of-the -V alley 
This beautiful plant succeeds best in an out-of-the-way 
place in the garden, particularly in the shade. If the bed is 
given a liberal top dressing of well-decayed manure in the 
fall or early spring, it will show the effect by increased size, 
number, and vigor of the flowers. We offer clumps especially 
suited for outdoor planting. They should be set 1 foot apart 
so as to allow the plant ample space to spread. Strong clumps, 
35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 
Madeira Vine 
A beautiful and popular vine, covering a large space in a 
short time. Fleshy heart-shaped leaves of a light green, and 
numerous racemes of feathery fragrant flowers. Protect with 
litter in winter. 15 cts. each; $1.25 per doz. 
Montbretias 
One of the brightest of our summer-flowering bulbs. The 
bulbs should be set out during April or May, 3 to 6 inches 
apart, 4 inches deep, in clumps of a dozen or more. They 
should be protected during the winter with leaves. 
Mixed Hybrids. A fine assortment of yellow, orange, and 
scarlet shades. 8 cts. each; 80 cts. per doz.; $5.50 per 100. 
Tritoma Pfitzeri 
The greatest bedding plant ever introduced, surpassing the 
finest cannas for attractiveness and brilliancy, equal to gladi¬ 
olus as a cut-flower, and blooms incessantly from June until 
December, regardless of frost. Plants are perfectly hardy in 
the open ground in the south but, in this latitude, they must 
be protected or wintered in a cellar like the ordinary Tritoma, 
burying the roots in sand. If planted out again early in the 
spring, they will commence growth at once and bloom early. 
3 for 75 cts.; $2.50 per doz.; $15 per 100. 
Tuberoses 
One of the most delightfully fragrant and beautiful of the 
summer-flowering bulbs. By skillful management a suc¬ 
cession of flowers may be obtained all the year round. For 
early flowers they can be started in February or March in the 
greenhouse or hotbed; and for a succession they can be planted 
at intervals as late as July. For flowering in the open border, 
plant about May 15, after the ground becomes warm. 
Excelsior, Double Pearl. Large-flowering bulbs producing 
spikes 2p£ to 3 feet high, with large, very double flowers. 
Mammoth bulbs, 3 for 25 cts.; 85 cts. per doz.; $6 per 100.
