Freesias. 
The best time to plant Freesias is August; use a light sandy 
soil, decomposed cowmanure; the pots or flats should be buried 
outside in a cold frame, to keep them cool and stimulate root- 
action. The first batch may be brought in the greenhouse 
around November 15th.; grow them cool by all means, because 
Freesias will not stand forcing and give them plenty water. 
After the buds appear, apply liquid manure and if necessary 
give them a little more heat. 
APOTHEOSE. Without doubt this is the greatest advance in 
Freesias for some time. The flowers are immense and of a 
very pretty pink color, with a slight lavender tint; the stems 
are long and wiry. $ 7.00 per 100. 
BLUE BIRD. Deep delphinium blue, with light center; large, open 
flowers, carried on long stems. Undoubtedly one of the best 
blue Freesias. $ 5.00 per 100.

Gen. Pershing. $ 6.00 per 100.
