TUBEROSES. 
(POLIANTHES TUBEROSA.) 
The perfectly double flowers of JPoli- 
anlhes 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 suc- 
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 groTvn on in a stove, with plenty of 
moisture. If not required in flower until 
September, the bulbs may be potted in March 
or April, and placed in a cold frame, standing 
them in the open during the summer. As 
soon as the flower spikes are about a foot 
high, the plants should be transferred to a 
greenhouse or even a room, when their chaste 
and fragrant flowers will be develofied in a 
most satisfactory manner.
