DOUBLE 
SWEET-SCENTED 
TUBEROSES. 
BEAUTIFUL PURE WHITE 
FLOWERS. 
The Sweet-scented Double White Tuberose 
(Poi.ianthf.s Tuberosa) has become ex- 
ceedingly 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 cultivated in different 
parts of the world, and can easily he 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 refuse; but they will start 
much more quickly and with greater certainty 
in a gentle bottom heat. Loam and well- 
decayed manure, in about equal parts with 
a little coarse 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 ; 
they are then staked and removed to the 
greenhouse, and placed near the glass.
