TUBEROSE, DOUBLE. 



Any one may grow the Tuberose with certainty of flowering 

 it, if the following condition are ob9erverl : In buying bulbs 

 be sure that the flower-germ is sound, for on this point depends 

 success: for if that has decayed, all the attention and.care be- 

 stowed upon them will be of no avail. They should 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 they can be started in pots.
