Dingee Winter-Blooming Freesias 



One of the most popular winter-blooming bulbs, growing well in ordinary soil and not requiring special 

 knowledge to have success with them. The color is pure white, lower petals touched with yellow. When cut 

 and placed in water the buds and flowers remain perfect for two or three weeks. A half dozen bulbs will pro- 

 duce a profusion of flowers, deliciously scented, reminding one of the odors of the Hyafinth, Jessamine and 

 Mignonette combined. Freesias are sure to grow and bloom if you give them half a chance. The important 

 thing, always, is to start with strong and vigorous bulbs, such as we have made our reputation on. 



PLANT THEM EARLY- PLANT THEM NOW! 



Freesias should be planted early for the best results — the earlier the better. We cannot too strongly em- 

 phasize this point. The vitality of the bulbs is at its highest early in the season. We have these bulbs grown 

 in tremendous quantities, by our special growers, and are able to offer larger and better quality '.julbs than 

 those generally sold. As in other bulbs, quality is our motto. 



DINGEE FREESIAS-THE BEST AND PUREST IN AMERICA 



The best Freesias are grown in California, though many bulbs grown elsewhere are in the market. In order 

 to give our customers the genuine Refracta alba strain, we have a reliable grower under contract. We have 

 seen stock in bloom at his place and know that it is genuine. The first-size bulbs are magnificent and produce 

 flowers of like size. These are the largest Freesia bulbs we have ever seen, and it is difficult to secure them else- 

 where at any price. The second-size bulbs are strong bloomers, which produce a profusion of flowers, while 

 our third-size bulbs are larger than the usual grade of second-size stock — not the small stuff usually sold at 

 our prices. Keep it in mind that we sell the genuine winter-blooming Freesias, and not the inferior hybrids — 

 that our stock has been carefully selected and is pure in color, size and fragrance.

Anomatheca 

 cruenta 



(SCARLET FREESIA) 



This lovely little gem is sim- 

 ilar in bulb, foliage and habit 

 to the Freesia, but the flowers 

 in brilliant contrast, are 

 brightest scariet; the lower 

 petals deeply marked. As 

 it grows exactly like a Freesia 

 it can be planted with them, 

 and, if you want something 

 really admirable, plant some 

 bulbs of Anomatheca cruenta. 

 As the tnie stock is limited, 

 the price is nece.s.sarily high. 

 5 cts. each, 10 cts. for 3, 25 

 cts. for 12. 



Big as Morning-Glories 



The Freesia bulbs ordered 

 came through promptly. It seem^ 

 almost impossible to believe them 

 to be Freesias, as they are fully 

 three times as large as any I 

 crer bought before. I shall con- 

 fidently expect to see Freesia 

 blossoms as big as morning- 

 glories, if the size of the bulb is 

 any sort of an indicator. Thanks 

 for liberality and promptness. —
