TUBEROSES 
Beautiful pure white flowers. 
The Sweet-scented Double White Tuberose ( Polianthes tuberosa 
has become exceedingly popular. They possess both a character and 
a perfume distinct from 
any other flower, and can 
be induced to bloom at 
various seasons. Those 
who cultivate these flowers 
can procure the bulbs in the 
spring, when they will 
com* 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; but they will start 
much more quickly and 
with greater certainty in 
a gentle bottom heat.
