FREESIA. Freesias are prized for their delightfully fragrant graceful flowers, which last 
longer in water than almost any other flower, 'i'hey are easily grown, and may be forced into 
bloom by Christmas if required. Plant the bulbs 
in September and October, 6 in a 5-inch pot, 
or 12 in a 7-inch pot makes 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. About 
the end of October, or before severe frost comes 
on, remove the pots to the sunny part of a green- 
house and give plenty of air (not 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.
