A native white variety of very strong growth, flowers from four to nine inches across, • produced in moderate quantity. The various varie- ties of the Tuberosa are suitable for planting in deep water, and should have plenty of room to spread, and should not be planted with other varie- ties unless the roots are confined in tubs or boxes, otherwise they will crowd out the smaller growing varieties. 25 cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100. Tuberosa, Gloire=du=Temple=sur=Lot. One of the most beautiful French varieties yet intro- duced.

Hardy Nymphseas (Continued} Tuberosa Maxima. A free-flowering variety; flow- ers from four to eight inches across; pure white and very fragrant. 25 cts. each; $ per
