One of the most delightfully fragrant flowers. Invaluable 

 for bouquets, buttonholes, and wherever cut flowers are in de- 

 mand. Before potting the bulbs, remove the small offsets. Use 

 good, rich loam, and start in a hot-bed or forcing-pit. They 

 should not be set in the garden till June. 



Our Tuberose Bulbs are all Nortbern-grown and of the 

 finest quality. They will give the New England cultiva- 

 tor much better, and more numerous flowers than South- 

 ern bulbs, which are usually sold.
