The cultiva- tion of the Tube- rose bulb was, for many years, con- fi n e d principally to the Italian nur- series ; but for the past twenty-five years they have been largely grown in the United States. At the present time the markets of the world are largely supplied with double tubeeose. American grown bulbs. Less change of form from the species has taken place with this, than with almost any.
