 much heavier and wax-like texture. Fine for cut flowers.

50 cts. each; $4.50 per doz. 



TUBEROSE, DOUBLE. 



Any one may grow the Tuberose with certainty of flow- 

 ering it, if the following conditions are observed : In buy- 

 ing bulbs be sure that the flower-germ is sound, for on this 

 point depends success, for if that has decayed, all the at- 

 tention 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 plant- 

 ing 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.
