Directions for Planting. — Tuberoses will not 

 bear much cold; do not plant till ground is warm. 

 They may be started in the house in a warm place, but 

 care must be taken that they get no check in setting 

 out. Plant two or three inches deep, and six to eight 

 inches apart in the row in good warm rich ground, 

 free from shade. If danger of frost before the flowers 

 are done in the Fall, lift carefully with the earth on the 

 roots and plant in pots or boxes in a warm light place, 

 and they will continue to bloom for several weeks. 

 Tuberose flowers are grown largely for sale, and are 

 extensively used in all kinds of floral decorations, and 

 particularly in Bridal and Funeral work. They are 

 always in demand at good prices.
