 be taken in and forced as required. They 

 require abundance of water.

Tuberoses ready in December 



The purity of color and rich perfume of the Tuberose are well known in this latitude. May i is early enough 

 to plant in the open ground, but the bulbs may be started in pots much earlier if desired. They do best in a rich, 

 warm soil and a sunny situation. Cut off about a quarter of an inch from the bottom of the bulb before planting, 

 and set so that the top will be one inch below the surface of the soil.
