FREESIA. 
Refracta Alba. Too much cannot be 
said of this beautiful bulb for forcing. Pure 
white, tul>e-shaped flowers, having a most de- 
licious perfume. A beautiful house plant, and 
grows easily in any good, rich, sandy soil. 
Flowers will keep two weeks after opening. 
One of the few Christmas flowers, and as soon 
as l)ctter known will be one of the most popular 
holiday decorations; also, it wijl be grown in large quantities by florists for cut flowers. Bulbs should be 
treated the same as winter-flowering Oxalis, i. e., kept in dry earth or sand until August, then potted off, 
three to six bulbs in a six-inch pot; these will bloom in December or January. Later potted, will, of course, 
bloom later. Like Oxalis, the bulbs increase rapidly. Price, extra selected bulbs, 5 dts., 6 for 25 As. ; fine 
large bulbs, 12 for 20 As.; small bulbs, 10 As. per doz. 
HELIOTROPE.

deep violet with white eye. Price ^o As. 
Czarina. Strong robust stems and extremely large trusses of extra-sized flowers of deep indigo blue 
with white eye. Price 30 As. 
FARFUClUiyi. 
Grande. A low giwving foliage plant, 
remarkable for its shiny dark green foliage, 
which is irregularly blotched with bright yel- 
low, and sometimes with white and rose. Easily 
grown, and a native of China; not a new plant, 
but not as well known as it should be, as it is a 
splendid winilow plant. Give plenty of water 
when in growing condition. (See cut.) 
Price 30 As. ; large specimens, 75 As.
