IXIA 
Recent introductions from South Africa with much 
better form and habit of growth are a fine addition 
to this group, of which some of the less desirable 
varieties have been available for many years. 
These new kinds have the same cultural require¬ 
ments as the older forms but are so superior that 
they will hardly be recognized as ixias and are sure 
to earn recognition when known. 
I. Bloeni Erf 
Recently introduced hybrid from S. Africa, quite 
different from other ixias. Blooms in late spring. 
Wiry stems 4 to ^ feet tall with 20 to 40 open 
flowers in a raceme at the top with several smaller 
flowering branches below. Color varies from pure 
white through shades of pink overlaid with a bluish 
tinge. Excellent for cutting.
