FREESIA 



This is one of the most beautiful of all Cape bulbs, 

 possessing a peculiar grace of form ; and its fragrance is 

 most delightful, one pot of a dozen bulbs being sufficient 

 to perfume a whole house. As cut flowers they are ex- 

 tremely valuable ; the unexpanded blooms opening in 

 water, fill the air with the most delicate perfume, and 

 their endurance is really remarkable. They force very 

 easily, and can be had in flower in January, and continue 

 in succession until June. For full cultural directions, 

 see our book, "Hints on the Growing of Bulbs." Price 

 25 cts. or free to customers who ask for it when ordering.
