SPRING CATALOGUE OF SEEDS, . BULBS : AND PLANTS FOR 1901. 117 
Guilds’ Superior Tuberoses. 
The one flower the rich man must have and the poor can¬ 
not do without. We all love its massive spikes, thick, waxen, 
blooms of rich, creamy whiteness, and its deep delicious 
fragrance. How often has this sweet flower, that might have 
bloomed in paradise, been placed; upon the cold forms of 
those whose spirit has gone to fairer fields' We have made 
our prices very low, that every flower lover, may enjoy their 
peerless beauty. For open-ground culture, plant about the 
middle of May. Give them rich soil, in full sun, and keep 
free from weeds, and they will bloom finely. Plant a good 
big lot of them for cutting, and if you will pot those which 
are in bed about the time frost is expected, they will bloom 
elegantly in pots for a long time; often till Christmas.
