GIANT FREESIAS 
Without doubt the most sweetly scented 
flower grown; a single bloom permeates the 
living-room with its delicate perfume. Al¬ 
though they are quite popular and very easily 
raised, we would suggest the following treat¬ 
ment: 
Procure the bulbs as early as possible, and 
plant them in successive batches from August 
to October, using from six to twenty-five 
bulbs for a single pan. The soil should be a 
mixture of loam, to which must be added 
leaf-mold and sand. The bulbs planted early, 
say August and September, may be placed 
outdoors in a sheltered spot until cold 
weather sets in; of course they must be 
regularly watered and kept growing all the 
time. In October, before frosts appear, the 
pots should be placed in frames, if possible, 
or near the window of an unheated room. 
Not before November must the young plants 
be brought to gentle heat, and if thus cared 
for they will flower perfectly in January. The 
foliage of the Freesias is very fine and slender 
and must be supported with light stakes 
placed around the outer edge of the pans. 
The glistening flowers are borne on long 
stems, and are very valuable for cutting. 
APOTHEOSE. Without a doubt this is the 
greatest advance in Freesias in the past 
decade. The flowers are very large, of a 
beautiful shade of pink, tinted lavender, 
and borne on long stems. 90 cts. per doz., 
$7 per 100, $65 per 1,000. 
BLUE BIRD. Deep delphinium-blue, with 
light center; large, open flowers, carried on 
strong, long stems. Without question, one 
of the finest blue Freesias. 70 cts. per doz., 
$5 per 100, $45 per 1,000. 
ELDER’S GIANT WHITE. Giant, pure 
white flowers on long stems. The largest 
white Freesia on the market. Almost 
invariably the leading white Freesia at 
flower shows. Monster Bulbs, $1.25 per 
doz., $9 per 100, $85 per 1,000. 
GOLDEN DAFFODIL. The variety may 
best be described as a rich daffodil-yellow 
color, such as is seen in the popular daffodil 
King Alfred. The flowers are large, well 
formed, and are borne on stiff stems. 
Monster Bulbs, 60 cts. per doz., $4.50 per 
100, $40 per 1,000. 
GOLDEN TREASURE. Rich, sunny yel¬ 
low, very similar to Golden Daffodil, ex¬ 
cept that the outer part of the flower is 
tinged with lilac. The blooms are large, 
well open, and are borne on long, stiff 
stems. Monster Bulbs, 60 cts. per doz., 
$4.50 per 100, $40 per 1,000. 
GIANT FREESIAS, continued 
MARY LOUISE FISCHER. A variety that 
compares favorably with Blue Bird. In 
color it is a fine dark blue, with large 
flowers and strong, straight stems. One of 
the best blues. Monster Bulbs, 80 cts. per 
doz., $6 per 100, $55 per 1,000. 
MISS BLANCHE BLUE. A fine, large- 
flowering variety in the blue shades. 
Blooms of good size and deep bluish laven¬ 
der in color. A variety to be recommended. 
One of the best, if not the best, blue- 
lavenders. Monster Bulbs, 90 cts. per doz., 
$7 per 100, $65 per 1,000. 
MRS. MARC PETERS. Very attractive 
deep rosy salmon with splendid clear color. 
Extra-strong, vigorous growth and long, 
sturdy stems make it a valuable cut-flower. 
Monster Bulbs, 80 cts. per doz., $6 per 
100, $55 per 1,000. 
PINK BEAUTY. A giant, rose-pink Freesia 
with broad petals forming a flat, open 
flower. Without doubt this is the prettiest 
pink to date, and greatly admired; it is like 
an orchid spray. Monster Bulbs, 80 cts. 
per doz., $6 per 100, $55 per 1,000. 
PURITY SUPERFLORA. Constant and 
painstaking reselection have enabled us to 
offer a strain of Purity that is decidedly 
superior to the original type. While not 
equal to Elder’s Giant White for exhibition 
purposes, as a cut-flower variety it is 
excellent. Doz. 100 1,000

SUNSET. An entirely new color in Freesias, 
being a flame-orange, reminding one of the 
glorious sunsets of California. This variety 
was the greatest attraction in the field 
during the flowering season, when thou¬ 
sands of visitors annually come to see our 
Freesias. Monster Bulbs, 80 cts. per doz., 
$6 per 100, $55 per 1,000.

GALANTHUS (Snowdrops) 
These are particularly effective under 
hedges, under cedar trees, and in thin wood¬ 
land. They are the first to open in the spring 
and are very lovely. As they dislike being 
moved, they should be left alone to naturalize 
themselves.

1,000.

The Ixia is a beautiful little winter-flower¬ 
ing bulb, with long, slender, graceful spikes 
of bloom. The colors are rich, varied and
