POKER PLANT. 
This is the well known herbaceous plant commonly 
called “ Flame Flower,” or “ Torch Plant.” It forms 
tufts of long, broad, fleshy, grass-like leaves, from the 
midst of which the tall flower stems, three to five feet in 
height, are produced, with large, dense-flowered, termi¬ 
nal racemes of orange-red and scarlet tubulous flowers. 
It looks indeed, like a flaming torch, and when planted 
in clumps among shrubs the effect is very striking. They 
will grow in almost any soil or situation, and are invalu¬ 
able late in autumn. Hardy with protection. Each, 25 
cents; per dozen, $2.50.

bulbs, which requires the same treatment as the Ixias.

soft, beautiful colors.

TROP/EOLUM.

graceful plants for parlor or conservatory culture, they 
grow rapidly and may be trained over trellises or as a 
bracket plant in the window. The flowers are very 
brilliant and beautiful. Use light rich soil, with plenty

banks, against a sunny wall, etc., producing glowing 
tresses of golden-yellow flowers. Each, 35 cents. 
TUBEROSES. 
No bulb is more popular than the delicate wax-like 
Tuberose. Owing to the high price of the bulbs in 
former years they have not received the general culti¬ 
vation they deserve. The Excelsior Pearl is unquestion¬ 
ably the finest variety in cultivation, producing short 
stalks, long spikes of perfectly double, pure white, 
deliciously fragrant flowers which are invaluable for all 
floral purposes, the flowers when detached singly are 
unexcelled for the buttonhole. Tuberoses are easily 
grown, blooming well either in the open ground or 
within doors; they may be had in flower throughout 
the greater part of the year by potting bulbs at different 
times. If, on account of our short season, they should 
not bloom in the garden, they should be potted before 
frost and taken into the house where their lovely blos¬ 
soms will be a constant delight all the fall and early 
winter. We feel much pleasure in being able to supply 
these bulbs in large quantities and at reasonable prices 
so that all may grow them. Our sales for Tuberoses 
alone during last season exceeded three hundred thous¬ 
and bulbs.
