 Eremurus, continued 



with the addition o£ well-decayed cow manure. Thoy need plenty of water in the flowering period, but 

 require good drainage. When well established they should not be disturbed, as the roots are extremely 

 brittle. The surface soil above the roots should ba kept clean by hand-weeding and enriched by occa- 

 sional application of old manure, leaf-mold and a little sand well mixed. Autumn planting is desirable, 

 and the crown should be covered with a mound of ashes over winter, or with a box with a water-tight 

 top and filled with dry leaves. Protect the stems from frost when coming into flower in spring.

The justly popular Frepsias 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, loamy soil, with an ad- 

 mixture of leaf-mold and sand, in a frame 

 or greenhouse, and are excellent for win- 

 dow 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 a pure white, with lower seg- 

 ments spotted lemon-yellow. Their fra- 

 grance is remarkable and very lasting.
