The Sweet-scented Double White Tuberose (Polianthbs Tuberosa) has become exceedingly popular. 
It possesses both a character and a perfume distinct from any other flower, and can be induced to b oom at various 
se«ons. At one time they were only obtainable from the South of Europe ; now th^ey are specially culti ate i 
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 in. deep with cocoanut fibre jifuse ; but they will start ^ 
and with greater certainty in a gentle bottom heat. Loam and wdfl-decayed manure, in about equal pa s, with 
a little coarse sand, is the most suitable compost in which to grow them The pots may be taken out o^he 
frame as soon as the flower stems appear above the leaves ; they are then staked and removed to the greenhous?, 
and placed near the glass.
