. Descriptive catalogue of a choice collection of vegetable, agricultural and flower seeds, gladiolus, lilies, and other summer flowering bulbs. Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Nurseries (Horticulture) New York (State) Catalogs. DOUBLE TUBEROSE, (Polianthes Tuberosa.) The tubers of this delightfully fra- grant flower may be planted from Jan- uary until March. Where a succession is required, and can be accommndated with a warm greenhouse or conserva- toi'y temperature, planting may begin with the former period; but where con- venience is limited to a hot-bed and greenhouse, the latter period is suited. In planting, remove the useless small offsets around the main a single tuber in a pot six inches wide, or a group of two or three in a proportion- ately larger one. Use good rich-bodied loarii. Start the growth slowly upon a temperate heat in a hot-bed,'forcing- pit, or frame; increase the surface or bottom heat after the incipient roots are made, as in Hyacinths keeping the tuber in a good warmth, and the upper growth relatively cool. As the stem be- comes vigorous, gradually dispense with the root warmth, and only encourage the flower stem in a well ventilated wann greenhouse in Spring, or con- servatorj- in Summer. As the growth approaches to maturity, they may be gradually exposed and plunged into the open air during hot Summer months, for a short period, and returned to the conservatory for bloom, as required. They will also succeed well planted in the open ground in May. Each. Per Boz. Per 100.
