XUBEHOSK. 

 Of all the summer flowering, bulbous plants. we think 

 the Tuberose the most desirable. The flowers are waxy 

 white, double, and so fragrant as to perfume the whole 

 atmosphere for some distance around. They are useful 

 for forming button hole bouquets, in large bouquets, or 

 as single specimens. Each bulb flowers but once, but 

 the smaller bulbs can be set out for future flowering, 

 when their growth is completed. A good way to grow 

 tuberoses, is to fill five inch pots half full of cow ma- 

 nure, and the remainder with good, rich earth, mixed 

 with sand. Plant the bulbs in this in April, water mod- 

 erately, 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 wi'.l usually flower be- 

 fore cold weather in autumn ; if they do not, the pots 

 can be brought in. and they will bloom in the house. 

 The bulbs cannot be safely sent by mail before April i.
