Hyacinths in Distinct Colours, flowering simultaneously. 
Hyacinths for bedding purposes are required distinct and bright in colour to admit of effective arrangement. The under- 
mentioned are perfectly constant in their respective shades, flowering simultaneously, and producing splendid spikes of bloom, second 
only to the named varieties. 
Strikingly beautiful effects have been produced by an arrangement of the following (planted for contrast in opposite colours), 
notably in one of the Royal Gardens, where the display won universal admiration.

Extra Early Double Sweet-scented 
TUBEROSES. 
See Coloured Illustration, page 1 of Cover, 
We have again secured our stock from some large cultivators of the 
above exquisitely fragrant and favourite Bulb for bouquets, button-holes, 
etc. The Roots are unusually fine, and the price is so low as to 
place this charming flower within the reach of all. 
The Sweet-scented Double Tuberoses are invaluable for bouquets, 
ladies’ dress, or as coat flowers. The perfume is exquisite, and the general 
appearance of the pure white double flower is most charming. They should 
be cultivated largely, in the manner indicated below. 
“ Carters’ Tuberoses were very good. I have one 
with five spikes of flowers from a single bulb. This with 
us here is a rarity.” 
Odessa. EDWIN W. HASLER.

THE CULTIVATION OF THE TUBEROSE. 
From “ Carters’ Practical Gardener.”— The double-flowered Tuberose may be 
had in succession by potting the tubers, and plunging them in a cold frame, covering 
them four inches deep with cocoanut-fibre refuse, but they start a little more quickly and 
with greater certainty in a gentle bottom-heat. Loam and well-decayed manure, in about 
equal parts, with a little coarse river-sand, is the most suitable compost in which to 
grow them. The pots may be taken out of the frame as soon as the flower-stems appear 
above the leaves, removed to the greenhouse, and taken into the forcing-pit as required. ^
