The illustration shows a single spike and part of a bed of our 
Tuberoses as they appear in bloom. They are among the sweetest 
and most beautiful flowers in existence. The bulbs may be started in 
the house in April, but usually do best planted where they are to 
remain after the ground gets warm and weather settled ; do 
not plant before ground Is warm, as they cannot bear much 
cold. The bulbs will keep in any warm, dry place till wanted. 
Plant three inches deep and six inches apart. If not done blooming 
when frost comes, lift and take indoors, and they will continue to 
bloom for weeks and perfume the whole house. We send large 
selected bulbs, all sure to bloom.
