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 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 bonemeal. 
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. 
As growth progresses give more water, 
and when flower spikes are showing supply 
moisture by standing the pots in saucers of 
water. When the flower buds are opening, 
a little weak liquid manure water will be found beneficial. If required for Christmas decora- 
tion the corms should be potted up in August, grown out of doors as described above, and 
be brought into a gentle warmth from the end of November to the beginning of December. 
By bringing into warmth successive batches during November, December and January a 
succession of bloom can be easily maintained. The coloured Freesias offered are 
wonderfully decorative.
