NEW VARIEGATED 
TUBEROSE. 
This scarce variety has been ne- _ __ 
glected because it has been so high in price Few have 
ever grown, and not many people have ever seen it. It is a 
P >hL°/n 8upe T r and 1 have P ut the price 
within the re ach of all. The leaves are bordered with a 
conspicuous white band, 
.making it a beautiful border 
r plant. Flowers single, large 
white, delicious fragrance, 
but not nearly so heavy as 
the double sort. The spike 
is graceful and is much more 
beautiful when cut than the 
other kinds. Blooms easier 
and three weeks earlier than 
the doubles. The bulbs 
bloom year alteryear, while 
the others do not.

5c. each, 3 for 12c., 7 for 
25c. By express, 50 for

) 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 just covered with 
dirt. When the flowers be¬ 
gin to open, if you take the 
plant up and put it in a pot 
or box and place it on the 
piazza or out of the sun and 
storms, all the flowers will 
open very white and full.
