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 are for the conservatory or sitti ng-room, remove to a greenhouse temperature. The bulbs for earlyflower- 
ing pot as soon as they can be procured, and plunge the pots in a temperature of about 60 degrees. The bulbs for succes- 
sion keep dry or pot at once, to make root growth ; tu either case the temperature should not be below 50 degrees.
