Boddington's Fink Freesia 



Boddington's "Quality" Lily-of-the- Valley 



FREESIA REFRACTA ALBA, etc. 



Of all South African flowering bulbs, the Freesia is doubtless the 

 best known and most esteemed. The gracefully branched, fragrant 

 flowers are of long duration, and, being freely produced, are profit- 

 able for commercial purposes, and satisfactory to amateurs. If 

 planted early they may be had in bloom by Christmas. Plant eight 

 or ten bulbs in a 6-inch bulb-pan, covering them one inch. The 

 peculiar habit, its delicious perfume and great value for cutting, 

 liave made it immensely popular. T)oz. 100 i 000
