HOW TO PLANT. 
Set out about the time you do Coleus, in rich, warm 
soil. Firm the soil around the bottom of the bulb 
with your hand, and have the top of the bulb hist 
covered with dirt. When the flowers begin to open, 
11 you take the plantupand putit in a potorbox and 
place it on the piazza or out of the sun and storms all 
the flowers will open very white and full. 
WEW VARIEGATED TUBEROSE. 
This scarce variety has been neglected because it 
has been so high in price. Few have ever grown, and 
not many people have ever seen it. It is a plant of' 
superior excellence, and I have put the price within 
the reach of all. The leaves are bordered with a con¬ 
spicuous white hand, making it a beautiful border 
plant. Flowers single, large white, delicious fragrance, but not nearly so 
heavy as the double sort. "The 
spike is graceful and is much

FRENCH STRAWBERRY, 
ST. JOSEPH. 
This new berry is of excel¬ 
lent flavor, dark red in color, 
large size and firm, but its 
leading characteristic is its 
strong tendency to bear two 
full crops in a season. Indeed 
its tendency is to keep throw¬ 
ing up flower stems from May to 
Autumn, hut it is^better after 
taking off the Spring crop to 
pinch off the blossoms and you 
will get a heavy Fail crop.
