FREESIA REFRACTA ALBA ODORATA. 



OF all South African flowering bulbs the Freesia is doubtless 

 the best known and most esteemed. The gracefully branched, 

 fragrant flowers are of long duration, and being freely produced 

 are profitable for commercial purposes, and satisfactory to ama- 

 teurs. 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.

GLADIOLI. 

 EARLY FLOWERING. 



These Gladioli are now extensively used by 

 gardeners and florists for winter forcing; the 

 dwarf, branching gracefully-formed flowers being 

 excellent for cut-flower use. If the spikes are 

 cut and placed in water when the first blossoms 

 appear, they will keep expanding and remain 

 beautiful for a week or two. Five or six bulbs 

 planted in six-inch bulb-pans or pots make 

 charming groups for conservatory or window 

 decoration ; the bulbs should be set aft inch and 

 a half deep.
