Ixias. 
These beautiful free-flowering Cape bulbs are deserving of much greater attention than they have hitherto received from the 
horticultural public, as they afford with but very little cultural skill, au abundance of strikingly brilliant and richly coloured flowers, 
which apart from their elegance of form, are exceedingly valuable to cut for the decoration of the drawing-room, bouquets, &c. In the 
south and western districts of England they may fairly be considered as hardy, but in most other parts of the British Isles they 
require to be planted deeply so as to be out of reach of severe frosts, or to have the protection of a cool pit or frame in Winter. 
They delight in a deep, rich, sandy soil, and when planted out of doors, a warm, sunny, well-sheltered border should always be selected. 
They thrive well in pots of light rich, sandy soil, planted five or six in a five-inch pot, placing the pots in a cool pit or frame, and 
giving plenty of air on all favourable occasions. Ixias do not require so much water when growing as most plants of a similar class, 
and watering may be discontinued when the plants have done flowering. If planted iu six or seven-inch pots, several in a pot, 
they may be bloomed a second year without re-pottiug.
