Freesia 
The justly popular Freesias are greatly prized for the delightful fragrance of their delicately 
colored flowers, which, when cut, will remain in good condition for a long time in water. They are 
easily grown or forced in a light, sandy soil, in a frame or greenhouse, and are excellent for window 
culture in Winter; one plant will perfume a large room, but not in the persistent manner of a tube¬ 
rose. The plant has tooth-shaped bulbs and flat, spreading leaves. 
Refracta Alba. Pure white and sweet-scented ; 
very largely forced. The flowers are 2 inches 
long, and about the same in width, shaped like 
miniature gladioli, and in clusters of 6 to 10, 
on depressed horizontal scapes. The body of 
the flower is pure white, with lower segments 
spotted lemon yellow. The fragrance is re¬ 
markable and very lasting.
