FREESIA 



One of the most popular of the early-flowering 

 fall bulbs. If ])lante(l during the last week of 

 August or earl\- in September, they may be flowered 

 by Christmas. Freesias are of easy culture and may 

 be planted in early autumn and allowed to root in a 

 cool place for about three weeks, when they may be 

 brought to the light and grown until in bloom. A 

 very handsome display may be had by planting 

 tv\elve bulbs in a 6-inch pot or pan.

SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 



At the time of the year when a flower of any sort attracts attention, the Tulips probably have no 

 equal. The eft'ects which they produce with their varied and brilliant colorings cannot be obtained in 

 any other flower during the early spring. Tulips make a most gorgeous display in flower beds before 

 the time for planting the regular summer flowers, and also produce a beautiful effect among shrub- 

 bery and perennial beds if planted in groups or clumps or used as borders. For forcing in the house 

 in winter, Tulips will make as nice pot plants as anyone may desire. The same general directions for 

 cultivation in pots may be used as for Hyacinths. The Single Early Tulips are the best for bedding, as 

 they flower much earlier than the other sorts and will be through blooming in time for the preparation 

 of beds for summer flowers. Tulip bulbs should be set 4 inches apart, and covered at least 4 inches deep. 

 Close planting produces the best bedding effects.
