FREESIA (Sweet-scented). Freesias are prized for their delightfully fragrant graceful flowers, 
which last longer in water than almost any other flower. Pot up the corms from August to 
October, 6 in a S'inch pot, or 12 in a 7-inch to make a better display. The tops of the 
bulbs should be buried 2 inches below the surface 
of the soil, which should be a compost of good 
mellow loam, well-decayed farmyard manure and 
a little bonemeal. Care must be taken that 
there is good drainage. Stand the pots outside on 
a sunny border and keep them slightly shadeil until 
growth is showing, when expose them to full sun 
and keep them in continuous growth, giving water 
when dry. ISafore severe frost comes on, remove 
the pots to the sunny part of a greenhouse and 
give plenty of air (avoiding draught). Or they m.ry 
be placed in an airy, sunny window, care being taken 
not to expose them to draught or the drying heat 
ari-ing from g.as. When the flower buds are open- 
ing, a little weak liquid manure water will be found 
beneficial. If required for Chri.stmas decoration the 
corms should be potted up in August, grown out of 
doors as described above, and about the beginning 
of December gently forced. The coloured Freesias 
offered are wonderfully decorative. 
Amethyst, flowers a charming soft shade of silvery lilac with while throat, very beautiful.
