IXIAS 



READY IN OCTOBER. 



The Named Hybrid Ixias are so beautiful and rich in tints 

 that no lover of flowers should be without them. They are 

 equally adapted for pots or the open ground, exceedingly free- 

 flowering, and invaluable for cutting. If planted out, they 

 require rather more covering during winter than hyacinths. 

 In pots their culture is the same as that usually recommended 

 for other bulbs. By reason of their curious forms and strange 

 coloring, the Ixias attract much attention.
