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 arc for the conset vatory or sitting-room, remove to a greenhouse temperature. The bulbs for early flower- 
ing Jot as soon as they can be procured, and plunge the pots in a temperature of about 60 degrees. The bulbs for suc- 
cession keep dry or pot at once, to make root growth ; in either case the temperature should not be below 50 degrees.
