. Beckert's garden field & flower seeds. Commercial catalogs Seeds; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) Seeds Catalogs; Fruit Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Garden tools Catalogs. Bulbs and Tubers for Summer Flowering. TUBEROSES. The Tuberose is a universal favorite, and largely grown on account of its delightful fragrance. The flowers are of a beautiful pure waxy white color, and grow on tall stems. Excelsior Pearl. Dwarf and compact. Very large, choice and well-cured bulbs. 5 cts. each, 50 cts per dozen. Italian Tall Double. 5 cts. each, 50 cts. per dozen. Variegated, or Silver-L/eaved. Foliage striped white and green ; the bulb frequently throws up two or more spikes, bearing in profusion pure white, waxy, single flowers ; blooms several weeks earlier than the double variety. 6 cts. each, 60 cts. per dozen. NEW TUBEROSE, AEBIXO. An Early-Flowering, Branching Sort, Unsurpassed for Forcing. The distinctive features of this single white Tuberose are its recurving petals, large and evenlv filled flower spikes, which open 30 days earlier than the old single variety, and the profuse flowering habit of the bulbs, which produce from 2 to 6 flower-stems each, and these again are often branched. But the flowers have none of the brown tint common to the old sort on the back of the petals, the tube and expanded sepals being of the purest waxy white ; very valuable for cut-flowers. This characteristic is so distinct that when first seen, being single, 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 heavy than that of the ordinary Tuberose. 10 cts. each,Si per dozen. DAHEIAS. This stately and handsome autumn flower will always be popular wherever display is wanted, because of its perfect form and wide range of color. Plant the tubers out in the spring after all danger of frost is past, and at the end of the season winter them over in a dry and cool cellar.
