LARGE-FLOWERED CANNAS. 
These magnificent plants with their beautiful spikes of brilliantly coloured Gladiolus-like flowers and handsome foliage, have become highly popular 
for bedding out on lawns. &e., and for greenhouse and conservatory decoration. They are as easily grown as most bedding plants, and are grandly 
effective in groups or centres of beds Break up the ground and manure as for Dahlias, and plant out in May as soon as danger from frost is ovor. 
They will soon siart into growth and bloom, and if mulched with abort well-rotted manure and well watered should the weather he dry, they will give 
a splendid show of beautiful flowers till killed by the frost in Autumn. In October or November they may be taken up, and after a short period of 
rest, divided and potted, when they will again start into t rowth and bloom in the greenhouse; or the roots may bo kept dormant till Spring, when 
they should he divided and potted up for turning out again in May. If grown for their beautiful foliage alone they are well worth growing, and with 
additional charm of their gorgeous spikes of beautiful flowers they cannot be too highly recommended. 
We have a very fine collection of these, including the most brilliant and beautiful colours.

TUBEROSES. 
These deliciously fragrant and exceedingly useful flowers are much more easily 
grown than is generally supposed, and will well repay the little trouble that is 
necessary to have them in perfection. For early forcing pot singly into five or 
six inch pots, as early in the season as the bulbs can be obtained, and plunge in 
a good moist heat, withholding water till the foliage make its appearance, when 
water may be given abundantly till the flower- buds are formed, when they may be 
removed to the greenhouse or conservatory and less water given. For Autumn 
blooming, pot singly into five or six-inch pots in March or April, using a light rich 
compost, and plunge the pots about six inches above their rims in cocoa-uut fibre, 
coal ashes, or any light material, under the stage of a greenhouse or in a cool pit 
or frame ; when the foliage of these makes its appearance they should be removed 
and plunged under a south wall, removing them to the greenhouse or indoors as 
the flower buds are formed. Dry roots may also be planted in sheltered places 
iD the open ground, from the middle of April to the latter part of May, and will 
produce beautiful flowers in Autumn if taken up and potted when coming into 
flower, and will furnish a supply of beautiful bloom in the greenhouse almost up 
to Christmas.

For early forcing, single crowns of these should ho planted about twelve in 
a five inch pot, with the buds well above the surface. Cover the crowns with 
a little moss or an inverted flower-pot and place them in a good heat of say 86 to 
90 degrees; water frequently with tepid water, and if judiciously looked after 
they will bloom in four or five weeks from time of potting. Good single crowns 
are much the best for this purpose.
