TBITOMA. 



Splendid half-hardy evergreen herbaceous plants, forming large, robust, 

 stemless leaf-crowns, from the centre of which their tall flower-stems, three 

 to five feet in height, are produced in summer and autumn, with large, 

 dense-flowered, terminal racemes of rich, pendent, orange-red and scarlet 

 tubulous flowers ; each raceme, a foot or more in length. 



They are admirably adapted for bedding out ; for forming large, effective 

 groups and beds,- in which the numerous terminal flame-colored blossoms 

 have a fine effect. They thrive in any rich, light garden-soil. On approach 

 of winter, they should be taken up, and placed in the greenhouse or cellar, 

 for replanting out again in spring.

DOUBLE TUBEBOSE. 



The Tuberose is a delightful, fragrant, and most beautiful summer-flower- 

 ing bulb, throwing up tall spikes of double white flowers, two to three feet 

 high. The bulbs may be planted from February to May. When required 

 for early bloom, plant in the greenhouse or hotbed in February or March ; 

 and, for a succession of flowers, in April and May. In planting, remove the 

 useless, small offsets around the main root, and place a single tuber in a 

 three or four-inch pot. Use good loam and leaf-mould, with good drainage. 

 Start them slowly, upon a temperate heat, in the hotbed or forcing-pit, or, 

 later in the season, in a frame. Water slightly at first, and, when the bulbs 

 begin to grow, increase the quantity. Those started early should be supplied 

 with good bottom heat till May, when they may be shifted into pots six or 

 seven inches wide. By the first of June, all may be plunged out in a warm 

 border, staking each plant to prevent their being broken by the wind.
