Winter= Blooming Freesias 



The Earlier Freesias are Planted the Better 



Plant Them Now 



This is perhaps the most popular of all Fall and Winter-blooming bulbs. A half-dozen bulbs 

 planted in ordinary soil, will produce a profusion of deliriously scented flowers, reminding one of the 

 Hyacinth. Mignonette and Jessamine combined. The color is purest white: lower petals touched 

 with yellow. The buds and flowers when cut and placed in water, remain perfect for two or three 



weeks. They are rapid growers, and a knowledge of 

 flowers is not necessary to succeed with them. They 

 are sure to grow and bloom. 



Plant Them Early 



We want to emphasize this point— Freesias should 

 be planted early for the best results. The vitality of 

 the bulbs being stronger now. the earlier they are 

 planted the better. By having these bulbs grown in 

 tremendous quantities by our own special growers, we 

 are able to offer larger and better bulbs thanAre geu~ 

 erally sold. 9 



This bit of good management makes it possible for 

 every one to succeed with our Freesias. Plant liber- 

 ally "of them; their good qualities cannot be overrated. 



WINTER-BLOOMING FREESIAS 



The Freesia bulbs ordered came through 

 promptly. It seems almost impossible to be- 

 lieve them to be Freesias. as they are fully 

 three times as large as any I ever bought be- 

 fore. I shall confidently expect to see Freesia 

 blossoms as big as Morning Glories, if the size 

 of the bulb is any sort of an indicator. 

 Thanks for liberality and promptness.

WE OFFER the BEST and PUREST STRAIN of FREESIAS In AMERICA 



The best Freesias are grown in California. Many of the bulbs sold are grown elsewhere. In or- 

 der that we could give our customers the genuine Refracta Alba strain we placed our contract with 

 a reliable grower where we were able to see the stock in bloom. The first size, the Mammoth 

 bulbs, are magnificent and will produce flowers in accordance with their size. For a Freesia bulb the 

 size is enormous, and we doubt if they can be had elsewhere at any price. The second size bulbs offered 

 are strong blooming bulbs, sure to produce a profusion of flowers, while the third size are larger than 

 the usual grade of second size bulbs, not the smallest size usually sold at these prices. Remember 

 we offer the genuine Winter-blooming Freesias. and not inferior Hybrids. Our stock has been care- 

 fully selected and is absolutely pure with regard to color, size and fragrance.
