No flower is more gorgeously coloured than the Tigridia ( the Tiger Spotted Flower ). The petals 
are self-coloured, while the petaloid stigmas and the cup of the flower are superbly tiger-spotted, so 
that the contrast be/7veen the lower and the upper part of the blossom is most remarkable. The flower 
of the Tigridia lasts only one day, but from the same scape comes a series of blossoms, each succeeding 
the other, and so maintaining the display for a long time ; thus, from a group of plants flowers may 
be had from August to November. The roots maybe planted in March, April, and May ; for pot 
culture, earlier.

The Tropaeolum occupies a wide range, and possesses great diversity of character and adaptation. 
Azureum, Brachyceras, Jarratti, Pentaphyllum, Speciosum, and Tricolor are remarkable for a 
slendei graceful growth, well adapted for covering wire globes , trellises, etc. ; Pentaphyllum is 
hardy, planted close to a south wall. Speciosum is well known to tourists to the North of Scotland 
for its brilliant scarlet flowers , and wild graceful luxuriant growth ; it is also met with in Wales 
and the North of England, festooning arches, and covering walls, fences, etc. Jn the Midland and 
Southern Counties plant in an eastern aspect, with moderately moist soil and atmosphere. Polyphyllum 
delights in a sunny aspect, and looks best growing close to a wall or naturalized in wild gardens, 
where its long racemes of bright golden flowers nestling in the midst of rich abundant glaucous 
foliage is charming ; quite hardy. Tuberosum is very effective planted close to the bottom of a south 
will, and is quite hardy.

The flowers of the Tuberose ( Polianthes tuberosa ) resemble the much-prized blossoms of the Stephanotis, 
but are more fragrant, and being perfectly double, are more generally useful. Plant the American roots in 
succession, from January till July, for a supply of cut flowers from May to December, and for consetvatory 
decoration, where the delicious fragrance is much prized. Plant the African roots Sept., Oct., Nov.
