Freesias 



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

 peculiar grace of form; and its fragrance is most delightful As cut 

 flowers they are extremely valuable; the unexpanded blooms opening 

 in water, fill the air with the most delicate perfume, and their endur- 

 ance 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."
