DOUBLE TUBEROSES. 
The Tuberose Is one of the most delightfully fragrant and beautiful of summer-flowering bulbs, 
throwing up tall spikes of double white flowers, two to 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, 
they may be planted in the greenhouse or hotbed in February or March, and, for a succession of 
flowers, in April and May. In planting, remove the useless small offsets around the main root, and 
place a single tuber in a pot four or five inches wide. Use good loam and leaf-mould, with good 
drainage. Start them slowly, upon a temperate heat, in the hotbed or forcing-pit, or later in the 
season in a frame. Water slightly at first; and, when the bulbs begin to grow, increase the quan¬ 
tity. 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. On the approach of cold 
weather, in September, those remaining in bloom should be removed to the conservatory or parlor, 
where they will continue in flower for a long period.
