Henderson's Superior Freesias 



Freesias are most popular for pot culture, flowering in the wnter and spring in the 

 conservatorj'. or window garden; 6 to 8 bulbs should be planted in a -t-inch pot. They 

 force readily and can be had in bloom by Christmas if desired, and by having a dozen 

 or more pots started in the cold frame they can be brought in at intervals, thereby 

 keeping up a continuous display of bloom through the winter; the flowers are produced 

 6 to 8 on stems about 9 inches high. 



Purity. A distinct and greatly improved type producing large sprays of purest snow- 

 white flowers of immense size and deliciously fragrant; it is very free blooming and 

 of greatvalue for forcing for cut flowers. 

 Extra Size Bulbs. 60c. per doi,; S4.50 per 100; .$40.00 per 1003. 



The "Fardel" Colored Freesias 



These beautiful novelties are rapidly winning favor on account of their lovely and 

 unique colorings, viz., shades of pink, mauve, purple, violet, blue, yellow and orange, 

 which we offer in mixed colors only. Very fragrant and free flowering. Each principal 

 spike usually carries 7 to 9 flowers — while the side spikes of which each bulb produces 

 several, usually bear 5 to 6 flowers. Their culture differs in no way from that of the white 

 Freesia. (See illustration.)
