Allium 
Neapolitanum 
Ready in September 
Desirable for winter bloom- 
ing and used by florists for cut- 
ting. The largeclustersof 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 successfully 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 fillthe pot 
with soil and shake it down but do 
notipackit. Plantthe 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. 
(Latest advices are that the War 
will probably prevent the delivery 
of any Allium bulbs this season.)

FREESIA ready in August 
One of the most popular and easily 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 freely 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, keptin 
a warm, moist place until the plants are wellstarted. 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. White with a yellow 
blotched throat. 3 for 5 cents; 20c. per dozen; 
FREESIA ‘ $1.25 per 100, postpaid.
