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.
