Freesias are most popular for pot culture, flowering 

 in the winter and spring in the conservatory, or 

 window garden; 6 to 8 bulbs should be planted in a 

 4-inch pot. They force readily and can be had in 

 bloom by Christmas if desired; the flowers are 

 produced 6 to 8 on stems about 9 inches high. 



Purity. A distinct and greatly improved type pro- 

 ducing large sprays of purest snow shite flowers of 

 immense size and deliciously fragrant; it is very

 flowers — while the side spikes of which each bulb
