IXIAS 



These comparatively little known bulbs are 

 worthy of general cultivation as they are 

 easily bloomed, and their beautiful and curi- 

 ous llowers always attract attention. Fill a 

 5 or 6 inch pot with sandy loam, insert 6 or 

 8 bulbs, covering them about an inch deep. 

 Place the pots in a cool, moderately damp place, 

 where they will not freeze, and give but little 

 water. When the flower spikes appear bring 

 into a sunny place, give plenty of air and water, 

 and rather low temperature. Ixias, mixed 

 varieties, 2 for 5 cents; 20 cents per dozen; 

 $1.00 per hundred, postpaid.
