Allium

Ready in September 



Desirable for winter bloom- 

 ing and used by florists for cut- 

 ting. The large clusters of white 

 flowers keep in condition for 

 several weeks. The plants are 

 one to one and one-half feet 

 high, with long, rather narrow 

 leaves and loosely spreading 

 umbels of star-shaped flowers. 



This variety of Allium may 

 also be successf ull}- grown out- 

 doors if well protected, and in- 

 doors it makes a beautiful bulb- 

 ous plant. 



Place four to six bulbs in a 5-inch 

 pot in well-drained, sandy loam, and 

 start into growth at once. In potting, 

 place a little charcoal or broken 

 pottery for drainage, then fill the pot 

 with soil and shake it down but do 

 not pack it. Plant the bulb just deep 

 enough so that its top will not show. 

 Keep in the full sunlight and when 

 the plants start give plenty of water.

 doz.; $1.00 per 100 postpaid.

1^ I\ ■ i r<iDi./\ Ready in August 



One of the most popular and easil}^ grown of 

 the winter blooming bulbs, exceptionally valu- 

 able for cutting. The flowers are white, last a 

 long time and have a delightful fragrance. The 

 habit of growth is distinctive. The five to seven 

 upright tubular flowers are borne upon a jointed 

 axis bent back almost at right angles to the 

 long stem. 



The bulbs force easily and will come into bloom in 

 January and February in the greenhouse. They also grow 

 well and bloom freelj" in an ordinary sitting room if 

 placed near a window and not kept too hot. They will 

 stand a slight freezing without injury. 



Freesias appear to the best advantage when four or 

 five bulbs are set in light, rich soil, in a 6-inch pot, kept in 

 a warm, moist place until the plants are well started. Be 

 careful to have good drainage. There is danger in water- 

 ing too freely until the plants are in flower. The leaves 

 and stalks are tender and it is desirable to support them 

 with small stakes. 



Freesia Refracta Alba. WTiite with a yellow 

 blotched throat. 3 for 5 cents; 20c. per dozen; 

 |i,25 per 100, postpaid.
