TRITONIA OR CARDINAL FREESIA. 
It is somewhat misleading to call this a Freesia, though 
in foliage and geneial habit it is just like one. but is far su¬ 
perior in blooming qualities. It is really a new variety of 
Tritonia- The original bulb (one only) was sent to us from 
Africa several years ago. We at once saw that it was the 
most brilliant winter-dowering bulb in cultivation, and have 
carefully grown it until now we have enough to offer. Treat¬ 
ed like a Freesia it produces spikes of large, well open flow¬ 
ers of the most intense cardinal color. It is very easily 
grown and sure to bloom in pots during winter, and is hardy 
enough to bloom in the open ground south of Mass. It created 
a genuine sensation at the New York Horticultural Show 
where wo exhibited it.

vases of water will keep perfect two weeks. In pots they
