very large double

as many as 50 on a
spike.
Large bulbs,
sure to bloom, 5c
each ; 40c. per
dozen; $2 per 100,
by express.
Extra large
bulbs, 6c. each;
express.
HOW TO PLANT.
Set out about the time vou do Coletis, in rich, warm
soil. Firm the soil around the bottom of the bulb
with your hand, and have the top of the bulb just
covered with dirt. When the flowers begin to open,
if you take the plant up and put it in a pot or box and
place it on the piazza or out of the sun and storms all
the flowers will open very white and full.

Yellow Mixture, 3 for
10c;
This scarce variety has been neglected because it
has been so high in price. Few have ever grown, and
not many people have ever seen it. It is a plant of '
superior excellence, and I have put the price within
the reach of all. The leaves are bordered with a con-
spicuous white band, making it a beautiful border
plant. Flowers single, large white, delicious fragrance, but not nearly so
heavy as the double sort. The
spike is graceful and is much

NEW TWICE BEARING
FRENCH STRAWBERRY
IEW VARIEGATED
TUBEROSE,
ST. JOSEPH.
This new berry is of excel-
lent flavor, dark red in color,
large size and firm, but its
leading characteristic is its
strong tendency to bear two
full crops in a season. Indeed
its tendency is to keep throw-
ing up flower stems from May to
Autumn, but it is better after
taking off the Spring crop to
pinch off the blossoms and you
will get a heavy Fall crop.
