Freesia Refracta Alba, i ndispensable winter flowering bulbs. We now se 

 annually many thousands of ihese bulbs to florists for lorcing for cut floAers; our 

 bulbs being unusually fine Freesias are amongst the most biautiful of all Cape 

 bulbs, growing about nine inches in height, and produce six to eight flowers upon a 

 stem They are very handsome, possessing a peculiar place cf form, and their fra- 

 grance is most delightful. As cut flowers they ate extremely valuable j the unex- 

 pended flowers open in water, fill the air with a most delicate perfume, and their en- 

 durance is really remarkable. They force very easily and should be started in 

 surcession from the end of J uly.
