Ill phciiting. remove the useless small oUVcis around the main a siDgli- tuber in a pot six inches wide, or a group of two or three in a proportion- ately larger one. Use good rich-bodied loam. Start tlie growth slowly upon a temperate heat in a hot-bed,'forcing- pit, or fiame; 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 diilv encourage the flower stem in a well ventilated warm greenhouse in Sjiring, or con- servatory in Summer. As the growth approaches to maturity, they may be gradually exposed and idunge'd 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. ^^'o. 1 mots, extra, 15 cents each, § per dozen, § per 100; Xo. 2 flntreriiiy Imllts, 10 cents each, per dozen, $ per 100; the same started in pots, 20 ctJi/s each; $ dozen, NEW DOlTBtE TUBEROSE, ("The ;) This is a new, and entirely distinct form of the old double tuberose.
