IXIA. 
No species of bulbous flowering plants ex¬ 
hibits in one family such brilliant colouring as 
the Ixia, and for cut flowers it is invaluable. 
Producing very erect flower spikes with a 
variety of colours, variations, and delicate 
markings seldom found in any other class of ^ 
flowering bulbs. 
Bulbs may be procured from September to 
December. They are quite miniature in size, 
and, it seems remarkable that they should con¬ 
tain sufficient vigour to put forth such a pro¬ 
fusion of lovely blooms. Their culture in pots 
is easy, they prefer a nice light sandy soil, 
and the pots should be stood in a cold frame 
until the roots have become active. If placed 
later in the greenhouse to mature, they mxist 
have plenty of air or the flowers may be scanty. 
Height 16 inches to 2 feet.
