FREESIA. Fi eesias 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 5*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 bonemcal. Care must be taken that 
there is good drainage. Stand the pots outside on 
a sunny border and keep them slightly shaded until 
growth is showing, when expose them to full sun 
and keep them in continuous growth, giving water 
when dry. Before severe frost comes on, remove 
the pots to the sunny part of a greenhouse and 
give plenty of air (avoiding draught). Or they may 
be placed in an airy, sunny window, care being 
taken not to expose them to draught or the 
drying heat arising from gas. When the flower 
buds are opening, a little weak liquid manure 
water will be found beneficial. If required for 
Christmas decoration the corms should be potted 
up in August, grown out of doors as described 
above, and about the beginning of December 
gently forced.

FRITILLARIA, an extremely elegant family of hardy plants, bearing graceful drooping bell- 
shaped flowers in May. The large-flowered varieties are charming for grouping in borders 
and for clumps on rockwork; while the smaller-flowered dwarf kinds, like arniena, aurea, 
and pudica, etc., are gems for warm sheltered nooks on the rockery, where they should be 
planted 2 to 3 inches deep. The Meleagris vars. produce a pretty effect naturalised in 
grass in shady glens or under large trees. Plant the bulbs about 6 inches deep (the lighter 
the soil the deeper), placing a little sliarp sand around the bulbs. As pot plants (several 
in a pot) they are very pretty. Ihe new varieties of Mekagns are very fine.
