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 develops ; at this stage, 
if the plants are intended for tht conservatory or sitting-room, remove to a greenhouse temperature. The bulbs for 
early flowering pot as soon as they can be procured, and plunge the pots in a temperature of about 60 degrees. The 
bulbs for succession keep ary or pot at once, to make root growth ; in either case the temperature should not be below 
50 degrees or the bulbs will suffer. ^
