Flowering Spike of Double Sweet-Scented Tuberose 
DOUBLE SWEET-SCENTED 
TUBEROSES 
Beautiful, Pure White Flowers 
The Sweet-scented Double White Tuberose 
(. Polianthes Tuberosd) has become exceedingly 
popular. It possesses both a character and a 
perfume distinct from any other flower, and can 
be induced to bloom at various seasons. At 
one time they were only obtainable from the 
south of Europe; now they are specially culti- 
vated in different parts of the world, and can 
easily be forced into bloom for the Easter 
festivals. Those who do not cultivate these 
flowers for winter decoration can procure the 
bulbs in the spring, when they will come into 
flower during the summer. The double- 
flowered Tuberose may be had in succession 
by potting the tubers and standing them in a 
cold frame, covering them 4 inches deep with 
cocoanut fibre refuse ; but they will start much 
more quickly and with greater certainty in a 
gentle bottom heat.

TIGRIDIA (Tiger or Shell Flower) 
Some beautiful hybrids of this showy flower have appeared during recent years. The bulbs, which 
are supplied in a dry state, are usually planted in pots in April, or in groups in the garden in a rich, sunny 
border. They maintain a succession of bloom throughout the summer and early autumn, when they 
must be taken up and placed in dry sand to winter.
