Tuberoses. # 
Thu Tuberose is one of the choicest of flowers. They produce long spikes of pure white, wax-like double flowers of great 
fragrance and beauty. Uy many their fragrance is considered to be the finest of all flowers, and surely no flower has a purer 
wax-like appearance. The bulbs we offer are very large and fine and will bloom profusely the coming season. At all the 
great shows, where our Tuberoses have been exhibited, they have never failed to take first prize over all competitors; the 
general excellence of our Kxcelsior Pearls being ahead of all others. Tuberose culture is a special feature of our business, 
as we grow several acres of them, and those who purchase bulbs from us can lie sure they are getting the best quality in tin- 
world, direct from headquarters, llulbs can be planted from April to June iu pots or the -.pen ground. Plant three inches 
deep in good rich soil and do not allow t hem to be overrun with weeds or other plants if you desire them to bloom early.
