Tuberose Bulbs 





and how to plant tljem. Set 



out about the time you do 

 Coleus, in rich, warm soil. Firm the soil around the bot- 

 tom of the bulb with your hand, and have the top of the 

 bulb just covered with dirt. When the flowers begin to 

 open, if you take the plant tip and put it into a pot or box, 

 and place it on the piazza, or out of the sun and storms, 

 all the flowers will open very white and full. They are 

 among the sweetest and most beautiful of flowers. The 

 bulbs may be started in the house in April, but usi;ally do 

 best planted where they are to remain after the ground 

 gets warin and weather settled. The bulbs will keep in any 

 warm dry place till wanted. Plant six inches apart. We 

 send large, selected bulbs, all sure to bloom.
