The flowers of the Tuberose ( Polianthes tuberosa ) resemble the much-prized blossoms of Slcphanotis. but are 
snore fragrant, and being perfectly double, are more generally useful. The American roots are not ready till 
January, when they should be potted in succession till July, for a supply of cut flowers from May to December. 
The African roots are ready in October, and may be planted in succession to January, and had in flower from 
A pril. As a pot plant for the conservatory or hall, the Tuberose is much prized on account of its delightfu l fragrance. 
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. 
Cultural Treatment for Autumn Flowers. — Anyone can grow the Tuberose and flower it success- 
fully, and so enjoy the fragrance and beauty of this much-prized plant. In March or April pot singly in 5 or 6 
inch pots, and under the stage of a greenhouse or in a frame, plunge in ashes or cocoa fibre, and cover with 6 inches 
of the same material. As the plants spear through the covering remove them, and plunge out of doors under a 
south wall at first, giving a little protection at night, and always plenty of water ; when the flower buds are 
formed remove to the greenhouse, sitting-room window, or hall, Jnjuncapoitionof the plants which were 
potted in March or April should be planted in the flower botders. From the middle of April to the middle of 
May dry roots may be planted in the open ground in a warm, sheltered part of the garden, and in October those 
which have not flowered , lift, pot, and enjoy the flowers indoors.
