A beautiful Mexican summer-blooming bulb. A group 
of them is always in flower after the middle of summer 
and very attractive. Flowers, star-shaped, 2 inches 
across, clear waxy white, of great substance, enlivened by 
a frost-like sparkle: the fragrance is delightful. Placea 
stalk in water and the flowers will all open; we have seen 
11 stalks shoot up successively from one bull). The bulbs 
flower profusely and with great certainty. Height, 12 to 
18 inches. For an effective display, groups of 12 to 25 
or more should be planted about (> inches apart in a

TUBEROSE. 
This purewhite, perfectly double, delightfully fragrant 
flower, invaluable for bouquets, is too well known to 
need any description. It delights in a strong, rich, deep, 
well-drained warm soil; manure, heat and water aro 
essential to its perfect development. This variety, which 
we introduced and named, grows only 24 inches, about 
half the height of the old double sort, and the flowers 
are nearly twice the size (often two inches indiameter), 
and imbricated like a Camellia; deliciously fragrant.

EARLY-fLOWERlNG BRANCHING 
TUBEROSE, “ RUBINO.” 
A single white Tuberose. The flower spikes are very 
large and evenly filled; flowers in July and August, 
thro wing from two to five flower stems from a single 
bulb, and these again are often branched. The ]>etaln 
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 Stephanotls, or some species of Jessamine as 
much as a Tuberose, both in appearance and fragrance, 
for the odor ih less heavy than that of the ordinary 
Tuberose. 5c. each, 50c. per doz. 
TUBEROSE, "Silver Leaf." 
Showy and effective, even when not In bloom, the 
foliage being distinctly striped, white and green. Each 
bnlb frequently throws up two or more spikes, 8 to 4 
feet high, each bearing from 25 to 40 pure white, waxy 
flowers, much like an orange flower orStephanotls, with 
a delicate and enchanting perfume. They flower several 
weeks earlier than double Tuberoses, and the bulbs bloom 
year after year. 5c. each, 50c. per doz.
