IXIAS, MORPHIXIAS, SPARAXIS, TRIT0NIAS, AND BABIANAS. 
Culture in-Doors. — From September to December plant in a five-inch pot five or six bulbs, using a compost 
of turfy loam, leaf soil, and silver sand. Make the soil firm about. the bulbs, then plunge the pots in ashes 
in a cold pit or frame, and withhold water till the plants appear, then give sparingly at first. Except during 
wet or frosty weather, the lights should be left off. Early in February, the plants having made sufficient growth, 
remove them to the greenhouse, and carefully attend to the watering. 
Culture Out-Doors. — Plant from October to January, at a depth of three to four inches, and two to 
three inches apart, in a prepared light loamy soil, thoroughly drained, the bed raised a few inches above the 
general level, with a due south aspect. Should the earlier plantings make foliage in autumn, protection must 
be given during severe frost, and this is best done by hooping the beds over, and, when necessary, covering 
with mats ; or Tiffany may be used, remaining on till the danger from severe frost has passed. The plantings 
made in December and January need no protection beyond a little fern, which gradually remove in spring as 
the plants spear through it ; as these late plantings will flower later in summer than the earlier ones, select a situa- 
tion for them where the sun’s rays will be somewhat broken, and the blooming period will thereby be prolonged. 
IXIAS. 
The Ixia is a slender graceful growing plant, with long loose spikes of bloom. The colours are rich, varied, 
and beautiful, the centre always differing in colour from the other parts of the flower, so that the blossoms 
expanding in the sun’s rays, present a picture of gorgeous beauty. 
The descriptions refer to the flowers when open ; when closed, most of the yellows and the whites have the outside 
of the petals red or purple ; thus, the more brilliant display is hi the expanded flowers.
