From Vick’s Illustrated Magazine, Feb. 1878 
Mrs. John Welsh Dulles writes from Philadelphia— 
“In one of your Guides you say: ‘We do not say posi- 
tively, but we are of the opinion that double Tuberose 
will become single under certain circumstances.’ I say 
‘ hele ; the same, as I have one this year, single, from a bulb 
peter acolletat Ds) ate enol ome, that previously produced double flowers.” 

Oxalis should be better known for it really 
is a most useful bulb.
