Ixias. 
Sparaxis. 
The Ixias produce their beautiful flowers in spikes, and 
are of the most dazzling and brilliant colors and sure to 
attract groat attention. It is only a few years that they have 
neon grown in this country to any extent, but in that time, 
like the Freesias, they have become very popular. For pot 
culture in the house they give great satisfaction, being of 
easy culture and free bloomers. Half a dozen bulbs maybe 
planted in a five-inch pot.and the display will be magnificent. 
For open-ground culture give them winter protection with 
leaves or straw. Great for garden culture in the Southern 
and Pacific states.

Sparaxis are much like Ixias. The blossoms are very 
large aud open flat, presenting some of the most curious and 
beautiful combinations of colors to be found. Their exceed¬ 
ing beauty at once captivates all beholders, and it is difficult 
to find a pot of flowers which will be more generally admired.

is simply to plant several bulbs in a pot of good soil, set them 
away, and when growth commences bring them out.
