Cultural Treatment for Forced Flowers.— The growers for Covent Garden pot the Tuberose single 
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 for the conservatory or sitting-room, they are removed to a greenhouse temperature. 
The bulbs for early flowering should be potted as soon as they can be procured, and kept in a warm temperature , 
never below 60 degrees. The reserve bulbs for succession may be potted at once, and allowed to make root 
growth , or they may be kept dry in a temperature never below 50 degrees.
