WINTER-BLOOMINQ FREESIAS 



FREESIA Refracta Alba— This is the 

 True Large-flowering Freesia ; the 

 flowers are pure snow-white, deli- 

 cately tinted with pale yellow, and very 

 sweet. Next to violets they are the 

 sweetest Winter-blooming flowers we 

 have, and are extensively planted by the 

 hundred and thousand for cutting. They 

 retain their beauty for a long time, and 

 by planting at different times, you can 

 have a succession of lovely bloom all 

 Winter. Freesias are very easily grown, 

 a dozen bulbs can be planted in one good 

 sized pot or pan of ordinary soil ; water 

 sparingly and set in a warm, sunny win- 

 dow, and they will soon begin to bloom.

CYCLAMEN 



Cyclamen Qiganteum,True 



Giant Flowering Persian Cyclamen 



These Giant Cyclamens are among the most charming Flowers we 

 have for the parlor or conservatory and almost unequalled in beauty. 

 The bulbs are easily grown and as each one throws up several flower 

 stalks which continue to bloom several months, they make elegant pots 

 of flowers for Winter and Spring. The flowers are exceedingly beautiful 

 and range in color through many shades of pink, crimson and whue ; the 

 leaves are also finely variegated, making a splendid plant for the living 

 room, window or conservatory ; they like plenty of light aiid air, but not 

 too much heat. When done blooming the bulbs should be dried off and 

 allowed to rest like Calla Lilies till time to pot up again.
