FREESIAS. 



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 satisfac- 

 tory 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.
