As you didn’t provide any details how are you initializing series it’s hard to give specific answer, but in general chart series has property YValuesPerPoint which should be set to 2 and to the methods series.Points.DataBindXY() or series.Points.AddXY() you can provide multiple Y values. First Y value provided would be responsible for place of bubble on Y axis and second Y value would be for bubble size.

So, to have one bubble in each series you can use following piece of code:

Chart chart = new Chart();
DataTable dt = GetData(); //your method to initialize data table with columns "Series", "X_value", "Y_value" and "BubbleSize_value"

foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
{
    string seriesName = row["Series"].ToString();
    var series = new Series(seriesName);
    series.YValuesPerPoint = 2;
    series.ChartType = SeriesChartType.Bubble;
    series.MarkerStyle = MarkerStyle.Circle;

    series.Points.AddXY(row["X_value"], row["Y_value"], row["BubbleSize_value"]);
    chart.Series.Add(series);
}
