MISCELEAINEOQUS BULBS: 
FREESIAS. 
The gracefully branched, fragrant flowers are of long duration, and being freely 
produced are profitable for commercial purposes; and satisfactory to amateurs. 
If planted early they may be had in bloom by Christmas. Plant eight or ten bulbs 
in a six-inch bulb pan, covering them one inch. The soil best suited is a mixture 
of rich loam, leaf-mold or humus and sharp sand. For a succession of blooms, 
bulbs may be potted from August to November. It is essential that root-growth 
be encouraged by placing the potted bulbs in a cool temperature for several weeks, 
when they may be brought to bloom in a gentle bottom heat.
