SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS- 
EARLY=FLOWERINQ 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 gracefully, which adds 
greatly to the size of the individual flower; it is entirely 
free from the brown tint common 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 Jessamine, as much as a Tuberose, both in ap¬ 
pearance and fragrance, for the odor is less heavy than 
that of the ordinary Tuberose. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 
each, $1.00 per doz., $7.00 per 100, delivered free in U. S. 
PANCRATIUM CALATHINUM. 
Handsome clusters of large, striking, very fragrant, 
pearly-white flowers. Bulbs should be kept warm and 
Jry. and planted out in the middle of May. They will 
then commence flowering in' July. It is also admirably 
adapted for pot culture, and can be forced into flower 
in 6 to 8 weeks’ time. Price, 25c. each, §2.50 per doz. 
Tuberose, “SILVER LEAF.” 
Showy and effective, even when not in bloom, the foli¬ 
age 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 flow¬ 
ers, much like an crange flower or Stephanotis, with a 
delicate and enchanting perfume. They flower several 
weeks earlier than double Tuberoses, and the bulbs bloom 
year after year. Price (delivered free in U. S.), 7c. each, 
75c. per doz., $5.00 per 100. 
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 compactly filled for two- 
thirds of their length with very large, perfectly 
double flowers, B to 2 inches across, or nearly 
twice the size of the old sort. The flowers have 
the waxy-like substance of a Camellia, are glisten¬ 
ing white and deliciously fragrant. The bulbs, 
planted in the garden in May, in warm, rich soil 
in a sunny position, flower with great certainty 
in the fall, when they are not only very decorative 
but their agreeable perfume pervades their im¬ 
mediate neighborhood. The cut-flower spikes 
are very effective when “vased” for room decora¬ 
tion. If early flowers are wanted, the bulbs may 
be started in pots in the house from February 
to April, removing 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., $2.00 per 
100 . 
“I must tell you of my success with your Pearl 
Tuberoses. 1 had some stalks which bore 85 and 36 
blossoms and many had 22 to 24 on. They were 
admired by all who saw them. They could not have 
given greater satisfaction; not one bulb failed to 
bloom.” Mrs. R. S. HA MPTON, Titusville , Pa .
