Ixias 



READY IN OCTOBER 



If to be sent by mail add postage at zone rates 



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, exceed- 

 ingly free-flowering, and invaluable for cut- 

 ting. 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.
