The justly popular Freesias are greatly prized 

 for the delightful fragrance of their delicately 

 colored flowers, which, when cut, will remain in 

 good condition for a long time in water. They 

 are easily grown or forced in good loainy soil, 

 with an admixture of leaf-mould and sand, in 

 a frame or greenhouse, and are excellent for 

 window culture in winter. For the information 

 of all not acquainted with these bulbs, we may 

 say that they are quite small, but produce large 

 blooms in comparison to their size. 

 Freesia refracta alba. The body of the flower 

 is pure white, with lower segments spotted 

 lemon-yellow. Their fragrance is remarkable 

 and very lasting. Doz. 100 1,000

IXIAS READY IN OCTOBER 



If wanted by mail, add 3 cts. per doz. or 15 cts. per 100 



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, arid invaluable for 

 cutting. If planted out, they require rather more covering during win- 

 ter 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. Each Doz. 100
