Freesias 
These are among the most beautiful of all Cape Bulbs, possessing 
a peculiar grace of form, and their fragrance is most delightful, one 
pot of 5 or 6 bulbs being sufficient to perfume a whole house. As cut 
flowers they are extremely valuable, the unexpanded blooms opening 
in water fill the air with the most delicate perfume, and their endur- 
ance is really remarkable. They force very easily, and can be had 
in flower at Christmas, and continue in succession till June.

This is one of the finest winter-flowering plants for pot culture that we have ever seen ; it is such a 
strong, luxuriant grower that one bulb will be sufficient for a six or eight inch pot. The flowers are of the 
purest'bright buttercup yellow. Well-grown plants have produced as high as seventy flower stems at one 
time, and over 1000 flowers in one season. Properly treated, the plants will flower in six weeks from the 
time the bulbs are planted. 50 cents per dozen.
