WINTER BLOOMING FREESIAS. 



The Earlier Freesias are Planted the Better. Plant Them Now. 



This is, perhaps, the most popular of all Fall- and Winter-blooming bulbs. A half-dozen bulbs planted in ordinary- 

 soil will produce a profusion of deliciously scented flowers, reminding one of the Hyacinth, Mignonette and Jessa- 

 mine combined. The color is purest white; lower petals touched with yellow. The buds and flowers, when cut and 

 placed in water, remain perfect for two 

 or three weeks. They are rapid grow- 

 ers, and a knowledge of flowers is not 

 necessary to succeed with them. They 

 are sure to grow and bloom. 



PLANT THEM EARLY. 



Wxi want to emphasize this point — Free- 

 sias should be planted early for. the best 

 results. The vitality of the bulbs being 

 stronger now, the earlier they are planted 

 the better. By having these bulbs grown 

 in tremendous quantities by our own 

 special grower, we are able to offer larger 

 and better bulbs than are generally sold. 



This bit of good management makes it 

 possible for every one to succeed with out 

 Freesias. Plant liberally of them; their 

 good qualities cannot be overrated.

Whitman, Mass. 



The Freesia bulbs ordered came through 

 promptly. It seems almost impossible to 

 believe them to be Freesias, as they are 

 fully three times as large as any I ever 

 bought before. I shall confidently expect 

 to see Freesia blossoms as big as Morning 

 Glories, if the size of the bulb is any sort 

 of an indicator. 



Thanks for liberality and promptness.

Winter-blooming' Freesias. 



Freesia Bulb. 



BUY THE BEST! 



The best Freesias are grown in California. Many of the bulbs sold are grown elsewhere. In order that we could 

 give our customers the genuine Refracta Alba strain we placed our contract with a reliable grower where we were able 

 to see the stock in bloom. Tne bulbs we offer are exceptionally fine, the first size, the Mam- 

 moth bulb, being magnificent They are three years old and will produce flowers in accord- 

 ance with their size. For a Freesia bulb the size is enormous, and we doubt if they can be 

 had elsewhere at any price. Remember, we offer the genuine Winter-blooming Freesias, and 

 not inferior Hybrids. Our stock has been carefully selected and is absolutely pure with regard 

 to color, size and fragrance.

Anomatheca Cruenta. 



SCARLET FREESIA. 



This lovely little gem is similar in bulb, foliage and habit 



to the Freesia — described on this page — but the flowers, in 



brilliant contrast, are brightest scarlet ; the lower petals 



deeply marked. As it grows exactly like a Freesia, it can 



be planted with them, and if you want something really 



admirable, plant some bulbs of Anomatheca Cruenta with 



your Freesia Refracta Alba. As the true stock is limited, 

 I the price is necessarily high. 6 cts. each ; 3 for 15 cts.; 6 



for 25 cts.; 12 for 50 cts. 

 The prices given include the postage, which we pay
