MISCELLANEOUS BULBS. 



FKEESIAS. 



The gracefully branched, fragrant flowers are of long duration, and being freely 

 produced are profitable for commercial purposes, and satisfactory 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. The soil best suited is a mixture 

 of rich loam, leaf-mold or humus and sharp sand. For a succession of blooms, 

 bulbs may be potted from August to November. It is essential that root-growth 

 be encouraged by placing the potted bulbs in a cool temperature for several weeks, 

 when they may be brought to bloom in a gentle bottom heat.
