TUBEROSES 
Polianthes Tuberosa 
Their chief claim to popularity is the delightful, 
sweet fragrance. 
The bulbs (tubers) produce heavy, grass-like foliage 
from which arise solitary flower spikes with double 
or single white blossoms. 
In a greenhouse where a temperature of 80 degrees 
can be maintained, the new crop bulbs can be 
planted early January for Spring flowering. 
In northern gardens they should be planted in rows 
1 inch deep (over top of bulb) and 8 inches apart in 
light soil and open, sunny position. 
In Southern gardens especially in Florida, it is usual 
to plant in succession starting in October and using 
a special, cold storage root stock. 
The bulbs may be lifted and stored but are difficult 
to maintain in a flowering condition from year to year. 
The original bulb often does not bloom again and it 
takes considerable time and labor to grow on the 
bulblets to flowering size. For the gardener this pro¬ 
cedure is hardly justified in view of the low cost of 
new bulbs. Therefore we advise annual replacement 
with new stock. 
Double American Pearl Improved. A fine 
strain, double, white, very fragrant. 
New crop ready December.January; 
cold storage from June to January.
