Freesias — A. B. C.'s Improved 
Purity Superllora 
FREESIAS 
Some bulbs mature early, and Freesias are among them. Batches of these bulbs can be started from August onward, putting the last planting 
in during early December. It does not pay to start the bulbs as soon as they are received. They require a certain period of rest, and many 
failures in the growing of Freesias, as well as bulbous Irises and Gladioli, are due to the bulbs not having the rest needed. 
Many years ago florists grew the old variety "Refracta Alba," cut-flowers with short stems. Then came "Purity, Superflora," Golden Daffodil, 
Elder's Giant White and many others in quite a range of colors. White still remains easily the best seller and is the most useful for growers 
to handle who require flowers for design work, but Golden Daffodil forces into flower more easily, and the other colors—pink, lavender, blue 
and carmine—all have their place. However, it is likely that if the average small florist will use fully three-fourths white, he will not go far 
astray. Order your bulbs now. They should certainly not be planted right away, but given a period of rest, after which they will come away 
quickly as well as evenly. 
AMARYLLIS — Giant American Hybrids 
The value of Amaryllis depends on the quality of the 
strain. We buy our bulbs from several sources of known 
reputation and mix these strains ourselves, thus making 
certain that you get the best obtainable. Every bulb we 
ship is of flowering size and many produce more than 
one flowering stem.
