FREESIA. 



An attractive Cape Flower, exquisitely perfumed, originally 

 pure white or faintly yellow, but developed latterly to pro- 

 duce many colors. The flower trusses are strikingly beautiful 

 and unexcelled for cutting. The unexpanded blooms opening 

 in the water, fill the air with a moist, delicate fragrance, and 

 their endurance is really remarkable. The bulbs are not hardy 

 and must be grown inside. Plant several in a 6-inch pot 

 about two inches below the surface. They will begin to bloom 

 in six weeks.

RAINBOW FREESIAS. 



As the name indicates, these Freesias come in a number of 

 beautiful colors, Yellow, Blue, Violet, Mauve, Pink, Lavender. 

 They are a new variety developed in Japan, and should be 

 grown by all lovers of bulbous flowers. They are easily grown 

 in the house and do not have to be started in the dark. 



Planted in clusters by themselves in the garden 

 or lawn Crocuses are very effective. A favorite 

 method of planting is to put the bulbs just below 

 the sod in the lawn so that the flowers will come 

 up through the grass in the early spring. They 

 may be grown successfully in the house or green- 

 house, the pots or pans in which the bulbs have 

 been planted being kept in a cold cellar until the 

 middle of January, as even a moderately mild tem- 

 perature before that date will spoil them.

Siberica — One of the most beautiful," 

 early spring blooming bulbs, bearing 

 a profusion of remarkably pretty, 

 rich blue flowers as soon as the snow 

 has disappeared from the ground. 

 Grown in masses or with Crocuses 

 and Snowdrops, it presents a charm- 

 ing eff'ect. It is perfectly hardy and 

 remains in bloom a long time. It 

 also makes a very showy plant for 

 the conservatory or parlor in winter. 



No Scilla bulbs may be imported after January Isl, 

 1926. Be sure to get a stock of them, they last for many 

 years.
