Double Tuberose, PEARL. 



DOUBLE TUBEROSE. 



The Tuberose is noted for its delicate beauty 

 and exquisite fragrance, rivaling orange blos- 

 soms in sweetness ; the flowers are pure white ; 

 very double and wax like, and are borne on 

 stems two to three feet high. 



Tuberoses will not bear much cold. Do not 

 plant in the spring till the ground is warm. 

 They may be started in the house in a warm 

 place, but care should be taken that they get 

 no check in setting out. Plant three or four 

 inches deep in rich ground. If danger of frost 

 before flowers are done in the fall, lift carefully 

 without disturbing the roots, and plant in pots 

 or boxes and remove to a warm light place, 

 and they will continue to bloom for a long 

 time. To keep over winter, store the bulbs in 

 a T/ery luarni, dry place.
