l>oxil>le Tvil>eroses. 



The Tuberose is one of the most delightfully fragrant and beautiful of summer-flowering bulbs, 

 throwing up small spikes of double white flowers, two to three feet high, which remain in bloom a 

 long period. The bulbs may be planted from February to May. When they are needed very 

 early, they may be planted in the greenhouse or hot-bed in February or March ; and, for a succes- 

 sion of flowers, in April and May In planting, remove the useless, small offsets around the main 

 root, and place a single tuber in a pot four or five inches wide. Use good loam and leaf mould, 

 with good drainage. Start them slowly, upon a temperate heat, in the hot-bed or forcing-pit, or 

 later in the season in a frame. Water slightly at first ; and, when the bulbs begin to grow, increase 

 the quantity. Those started early should be supplied with a good bottom heat till May, when they 

 may be shifted into pots six or seven inches wide. By the first of June, all may be plunged out in a 

 ■warm border, staking each plant to prevent their being broken by the wind. On the approach of 

 cool weather, in September, those remaining in bloom should be removed to the conservatory or 

 parlor, where they will continue in flower for a long period. 



Fine bulbs, $1.50 to $2.00 per dozen ; bulbs started in pots in May, J3.00 per dozen. 



Vallota. 



A splendid bulbous-rooted plant, allied to the Amaryllis. It blooms in August, throwing up its 

 strong stetns about one foot high, with from five to eight brilliant, scarlet, lily-like flowers ; very 

 ornamental for bedding out in summer, or cultivation in pots and vases. 



Purpurea, each ;fo.7S. 



Tritoma. 



Splendid, half-hardy, eversjreen, herbaceous plants, forming large, robust, stemless, leaf-crowns, 

 from the centre of which their tall flower-stems, three to five feet in height, are produced in sum- 

 mer and autumn, with large, dense-flowered terminal racemes of rich pendent, orange-red and 

 scarlet tubulous flowers ; each raceme a foot or more in length. 



They are admirably adapted for bedding out ; and the numerous terminal, llame-colored blossoms 

 form a stately distant or mediate effect. They thrive in any rich light garden-soil. On approach 

 of winter, they should be taken up, and placed in the greenhouse or cellar for replanting out again 

 in spring.
