FREESIAS 



The delicious fragrance of these dainty little irids 

 from South Africa makes them very acceptable in the 

 winter. They can be enjoyed from December until 

 May, by means of starting their corms early and late ; 

 and their roots increase and multiply year by year. 

 The pure white variety is Freesia refracta alba ; 

 another (Leitchlini major) has rich orange blotches 

 on the upper petals, whilst a newer variety is in 

 pink, but blossoms later than the rest.
