DOUBLE TUBEROSE. 
The Tuberose is one of the most delightfully fragrant and beautiful of summer flowering bulbs* 
throwing up tall spikes of double white flowers two or three feet high, which remain in bloom a 
long period. The bulbs may be planted from February to May. When they are needed very early 
plant in the greenhouse or hot-bed in February or March, and for a succession of flowers in April 
or May. In planting, remove the useless small offset around the main root, and place a single tube 
in a pot four or five inches wide. TJse good rich bodied loam. Start them slowly, in a temperate 
heat, in a hot bed, forcing pit, or frame; water slightly at first, and when the bulbs begin to grow 
increase the quantity. Those started early should be supplied with good bottom heat till May, 
when they may be shifted into pots six or seven inches wide. By the first of June all may be 
plunged out in a warm border, staking each plant to prevent their being broken by the wind. Will 
also succeed well planted in the open ground in May. . 
First quality started in pots for early flowering, 35 to 50 cents each. $3.50 to $5.00 per dozen.
