Tuberose-^ 



The flowers of this popular plant are waxy- white, 

 double and so fragrant that they perfume the whole atmosphere 

 for some distance around. They are useful in button-hole bouquets, 

 in large bouquets, or as single specimens. A good way to grow 

 Tuberoses is to fill five inch pots half full of ivell rotted cow manure, 

 and the remainder with good, rich sandy soil. Plant the bulbs in 

 this, in April, water moderately, and hasten growth by putting in 

 a warm, light place. When weather has become warm, plunge the 

 pots in the earth out of doors. They will usually fiower before 

 cold weather; if they do not, the pots can be brought in and they 

 will bloom in the house.
