PANCRATIUM 
CALATHINUM, 
Henderson's Double Dwarf Pearl Tuberose. 
This variety, introduced and named by us, has proven so 
superior to the old tall double Tuberose that the latter has 
been practically crowded out of existence. 
Henderson’s Pearl Tuberose is of dwarf, stocky growth, the 
flower spikes attaining a height of about 2 feet, and are com¬ 
pactly filled for two-thirds of their length with very large, 
perfectly double flowers, 1J3 to 2 inches across, of nearly 
twice the size of the old sort. The flowers have the waxy- 
like substance of a Camellia, are glistening white and de¬ 
liciously fragrant. The bulbs planted in the garden in May, 
in warm, rich soil in a sunny position, flower with great cer¬ 
tainty in the fall, when they are not only very decorative 
but their agreeable perfume pervades their immediate neigh¬ 
borhood. If early flowers are wanted, the bulbs may be 
started in pots in the house from February to April, remov¬ 
ing the plants to open ground when it is warm enough in 
May. Price, extra large flowering bulbs, 5c. each, 50c. per 
doz., $3.00 per 100 (delivered free in the U. S.), or if buyer 
pays carriage, 35c. per doz., S2.00 per 100, SI6.00 per 1,000.

EARLYTLOWERING BRANCHING 
MEXICAN TUBEROSE. 
A single white Tuberose. The flower spikes are 
very large and evenly filled; it commences to flower 
in July and August, throwing from two to five flower 
stems from a single bulb. The petals recurve grace¬ 
fully, which adds greatly to the size of the individual 
flower; it is entirely free from the brown tint com¬ 
mon to the old sort on the back of the petals, being 
of the purest waxy-white, making it most valuable 
for cut flowers. When first seen it might be said 
to resemble a Stephanotis, or some species of Jessa¬ 
mine, as much as a Tuberose, both in appearance 
and fragrance, for the odor is less heavy than that 
of the ordinary Tuberose. ( See cut.) Price, 8c. 
each, 85c. per doz., $6.00 per 100, delivered free 
TUBEROSE 
S1LVEK LEAF 
Showy and effective, even when not in bloom, the 
foliage being distinctly striped white and green. 
Each bulb frequently throws up two or more spikes, 
3 to 4 feet high, each bearing from 25 to 40 pure white, 
waxy flowers, much like an orange flower or Stephan¬ 
otis, with a delicate and enchanting perfume. They 
flower several weeks earlier than double Tuberoses, 
and the bulbs bloom year after year. Price (deliv¬ 
ered free in U. S.), 7c. each,75c. per doz., $5.00 per 100.
