FREESIA 
This is one of I he most beautiful of all the Cape bulbs, 
possessing a peculiar grace of form, and its fragrance 
is most delightful, one pot of five or six bulbs being 
suflicient 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 per- 
fume, and their endurance is really remarkable. They 
force very easily, and can be had in flower at Christ 
mas, and continue in succession until .lune. When 
potted these should not be kept in a dark place like 
most other bulbs, but should be put directly in the light.
