Give a sunny window in a cool room. Hardy in south and in north if well

DUTCH AND SPANISH IRIS are about the same thing. They are bulbous. 
The flowers are not fragile like the Bearded Iris and are very useful for cutting. 
Culture. Plant in the fall. Early planting is advisable though we have 
planted as late as Dec. But late planted bulbs do not grow 100% nor are the 
flowers as good. Plant about 3” deep and 4” apart. We plant double rows in 
a furrow like glads. Plant in full sun or partial shade. They should be well 
watered. They are hardy in eastern states but a mulch is advisable. They like 
wood ashes or lime in soil, as others do.

FREESIA 
Freesias combine delicious fragrance with exquisite beauty. They are in- 
dispensable in the outside garden, or the window garden, and for cutting. 
Culture. They are not hardy except in mild southern climates. Plant out- 
doors early, before Oct. if possible, tho they do well when planted as late as 
November 30. But late planted bulbs will grow short stems and smaller flowers. 
Plant 18 to the foot, or 12 in a single row. Cover two inches. Rich sandy loam 
is the best soil but they do very well in heavy soil. Give full sun exposure. 
No spring flowering bulbs are more satisfactory in pots or window boxes 
inside. No incense, no fragrance nor beauty can be had for so little expense 
or trouble. Plant 2” apart in pots or boxes. Place at once in the sunniest win- 
dow in a cool room. Few winter flowering bulbs like hot rooms. Do not water 
heavily until up. Large bulbs started early often bloom by Christmas or soon 
after.
