FREESIA 
This is a delightful winter-blooming plant for 
window and conservatory. The bulbs are small, and 
six or eight can be planted in a five-inch pot. The 
earlier the bulbs are potted, the better, setting them 
down so that the soil will cover the tips. They will 
start both root and top growth without much delay, 
and can easily be had in bloom by Christmas. Be 
careful to keep them moist and in a moderate 
temperature. The flowers, which are white with a 
blotch of yellow at the throat, and about an inch in 
length, are produced in a raceme of five to eight, 
each standing erect; they are deliciously fragrant. 
The stems cut and placed in water keep well. After 
the plants have bloomed they can be given less and 
less water until the leaves have died, when the bulbs 
can be dried off and laid away until the following 
autumn. doz ioo

“No Jim tier amid the garden fairer grows 
Than the sweet lily of the Imvly vale.” 
One of the most charming and greatly admired 
plants grown. The bulbs, or pips, can be planted in 
a bed out doors, or they can be potted four to six in 
a four-inch pot, which can be left in a cool place for 
a time, and even if exposed to a sharp frost are not 
injured, but apparently benefited thereby, and then 
with plenty of warmth, light and water, they will 
soon produce beautiful green leaves, and sprays of 
lovely white and exquisitely fragrant blossoms. One 
or more pots may be sunk in the garden and left until 
wanted. It requires from three to five weeks for 
them to perfect their flowers if kept very warm and 
given plenty of water. Like those of other bulbs 
the flowers are larger and very much finer when 
raised in the house than in the garden.
