TUBEROSE, DOUBLE. 
Any one may grow the Tuberose with certainty of flower- 
ing it, if the Sen oW ne conditions are observed: In buying 
bulbs be sure that the flower-germ is sound, for on this point 
depends success, for if that ha: decayed, all the attention and 
care bestowed upon them will be of no avail. They must 
never be planted in the open ground, in the vicinity of New 
York, before the 20th of May. In planting, remove all off- 
shoots from the sides of the bulbs, and plant about four 
inches deep. Bulbs planted under these conditions will not 
bloom much before September. When.wanted earlier than 
this they can be started in pots.
