Plant Bulbs Immediately Upon Receipt 
These produce about two weeks before the Crocus are in bloom, little 
yellow flowers like Buttercups about 3 inches above the ground, with set¬ 
tings of fine green, frilled collars which never seem to mind the worst of 
weather conditions. Will thrive under trees where few other plants can hold 
their own. They seed themselves freely and colonies from self-sown seed 
are soon formed. Plant at once upon receipt, firmly, 2 inches deep in shade 
or full sun, about 18 bulbs to a square foot.

Without doubt the most sweetly scented flower grown; a single bloom 
permeates the living-room with its delicate perfume. Although they are 
quite popular and very easily raised, we suggest the following treatment: 
Procure the bulbs as early as possible and plant them in August, 6 to 25 
bulbs for a single pan. The soil should be a mixture of good loam. The 
bulbs planted early, say August and September, must be placed outdoors 
until cold weather sets in; must be regularly watered and kept growing all 
the time. In November, before frosts appear, the pots should be placed 
in the window of a cool room.

When planting Freesia bulbs in pots or pans, they may be spaced two 
inches apart and one inch deep. The pots should be left outside in a 
cold frame or any handy place in the garden until the approach of cold 
weather. Before actual frost arrives they should be brought into the 
house or greenhouse and placed in full light in a sunny window and must 
be staked as they grow. The soil should be a light sandy loam; old soil 
is the best in which some other crop has been grown during the previous 
season. This may be enriched with well-decayed stable manure or Way- 
side Gardens Plant Food. The best time to plant is September or early 
October. If planted earlier they will come up unevenly for the season 
that the bulbs will not have had sufficient rest. To produce the largest 
and finest flowers they should be grown cool; a day temperature of 60 
degrees and night temperature of 45 to 50 degrees suits them best. 
They like plenty of water at all times.
