Freesias 



This is one of the most beauciful 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 

 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."
