OXALIS. 



IXIAS, 



We take great pleasure in recommending this brilliant 

 class of flowers ; they are but little known in this country, 

 and will be sure to give great satisfaction. Ixias are the star- 

 shaped flowers illustrated above, and are admirably adapted for 

 pot culture in the house; several bulbs can be placed in a five- 

 inch pot or pan. They should, unlike other bulbs, be potted 

 rather firmly, and as early as possible; placed in a dry, cool 

 place like Hyacinths; until the flower spikes appear, but little 

 water is needed ; then, however, keep pretty moist and give 

 full light and air. After flowering, gradually ripen, and when 

 ready shake out and store in paper bags until next Autumn, or 

 the bulbs can remain in the soil, which should be kept drv.

The varieties of Oxalis we offer at this season are entirely 

 suitable for 'Vv'inter blooming and pot culture. These lovely 

 flowers are now among the most popular, and cannot be sur- 

 passed for hanging baskets, pots and positions calling for 

 graceful and effective flowering plants. The bulbs are of the 

 easiest culture, and a few in a five-inch pot or basket will 

 start off at once and soon be in flower, remaining so through- 

 out the Winter. Nothing off'ered for house culture will be 

 more likely to please than Oxalis.
