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.'"
