EARLY-FLOWERING BRANCHING 
Mexican Tuberose. 
A single white Tubero.se. 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 gracefully, which adds greatly to the size of 
the individual flower; it is entirely free from the 
brow’ll tint common to the old sort on the back of 
the petals, being of the purest waxv-white, making it 
most valuable for cut flowers. When first seen it 
might be said to resemble a Stephanotis, or some 
species of Jessamine, as much as a Tuberose, both in 
appearance and fragrance, for the odor is less hea\’y 
than that of the ordinary Tuberose. (See cut.) Price, 
10c. each, $1.00 per doz., $7.00 per 100, delivered 
free in U. S. 
Tuberose, “SILVER LEAF.” 
Showv and effective, even when not in bloom, the 
foliage being distinctly striped white and green. 
Knch 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 flow'er 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. 
PANCRATIUM 
CALATHINUM. 
Double Dwarf Pearl Tuberose. 
Tills variety, introduced and named by us, has proven so 
superior to the old tall double Tubero.se 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 <)f al>out 2 feet, anti are com¬ 
pactly filled for two-thirds of their length with very large, 
perfectly double fiow'ers, 1^ to 2 inches across, of nearly 
twice the size of the old sort. The flowers have the waxy- 
like sub.stance of a Camellia, are gli.stening white and de- 
liciou.sly fragrant. The bulbs planted in the garden in May, 
in w’arrn, 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 tlie plants to open ground when it is warm enough in 
May. Price, extra large flowering bulb*,i5c. each, 50c. per 
doz., $3.00 i)er 100 (delivered free in the U. S.), or if buyer
