UMMER FLOWERING BULBS 
TUBEROSE

My tuberoses seldom bloom. Why, and have 
they any special requirements? 
Tuberoses require a long growing Season and 
in northern climates the bulbs should be started 
in pots indoors in April and set out when danger 
of frost is past. They require a deep, rich Soil.

dug up before they are touched by frost, and 
stored, dry, in a temperature of 60° during the 
winter.
