They should be set about three inches deep. Tuberose 

 bulbs may be set out the last of May, and they should be 

 covered about an inch. The last flowers appear during the 

 latter part of September. 



All these summer bulbs are tender and must be taken up 

 in the fall and stored during the winter. After being dug 

 up, they should be left in the sun and air for a few days to 

 cure, and then they should be stored in a cool dry place 

 where they will not freeze. 



Annuals. Annuals live but one season. The seeds are 

 planted in the spring, the plant develops rapidly and dies 

 on the approach of cold weather. Among the annuals are 

 a number of vines which grow to a great height during the 

 season and make a very effective screen for a porch. The 

 morning glory is one of the best and it sows itself, that is, 

 some of the seeds which fall from the vines during the sum- 

 mer germinate the following spring, so that although the 

 plant dies each season, other plants come up from the seeds 

 formed. Among the low-growing vines, climbing nasturtium 

 is one of the best.
