DOUBLE 
TUBEROSES 
(POLIANTHES TUBER08A.) 
The perfectly double flowers of Folx- 
anthes are well known for their delicious 
fragrance and pearly whiteness, being ad- 
mirably adapted for Button-holes, Bouquets, 
&c. ; indeed, are of the greatest value 
wherever out flowers are required. By suo- 
cessional plantings these lovely flowers may 
be had all through the summer and autumn. 
They should be potted in rich loamy soil and 
started in a good bottom heat, being after- 
wards grown on in a stove, with plenty of 
moisture. If not required in flower until 
September, the bulbs may be potted in April 
or May, when all danger of frost is past, and 
placed in a cold frame, standing them in the 
open during the summer. As soon ns the 
flower spikes are about a foot high, the plants 
should be transferred to a gi’cenhouse or oven 
a room, when their chaste and fragrant 
flowers will be developed in a most satis- 
factory manner.
