H ENDERS0N ' S SUPERIOR FREESIAS. 



Freesias are most popular and charming bulbs for pot culture, flowering in the 

 winter and spring in the conservatory, or window garden; 6 or 8 bulbs should be 

 planted in a 4-inch pot. They force readily and can be had in bloom by Christmas if 

 desired, and by having a dozen or more pots started in the cold frame they can be 

 brought in at intervals, thereby keeping up a continuous display of bloom through the 

 winter; the flowers are produced 6 to Son stems about 9 inches high, and are particularly 

 useful for cutting, remaining in good condition kept in water for two weeks. (See cut.)

ERYTHPxONIUM. 



(DOG'S TOOTH VIOLETS.) 



Beautiful plants, perfectly hardy, the foliage is usually charmingly 

 variegated, and a mass of 15 or 20 plants is a pretty sight even when 

 not in flower, but when the graceful flowers are in bloom the effect is 

 matchless. The plants luxuriate in rather moist, partially shady 

 positions and do very nicely when grown in pots for winter blooming.
