TIGRIDIA (Tiger-spotted Flowers). 
No flower is more gorgeously coloured or more beautiful than the Tigridia. The bulbs are supplied 
from December to May, and may be planted out-doors March, April, or May. For pot-culture, plant earlier, 
and as soon as potted plunge in a cold frame and withhold water till the foliage appears, and then give 
sparingly at first. Plantings out-of-doors may be made as late as June, and these, if lifted and potted in 
September , will flower under glass late in Autumn. (Beautiful Coloured Plate of T. alba, price 6d.)

TUBEROSES, 
Cultural Treatment for Forced Flowers. — The growers for Covent Garden pot the Tuberose singly in 
5 or 6-inch pots, and plunge in moist bottom heat, withholding water till the foliage appears, then giving it freely, 
growing on in a house with a high temperature and a moist atmosphere, till the flower buds develope ; at this stage, 
if the plants are intended for the conservatory or sitting-room, remove to a greenhouse temperature. The bulbs for 
early Jlmvering pot as soon as they can be procured , and plunge the pots in a temperature of about 60 degrees. The 
bulbs for succession keep dry or pot at once, to make root growth ; m either case the temperature should not be below 
50 degrees or the bulbs will suffer.
