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. Do not 
plant outside where temperatures go under about 26°. Plant outdoors early, 
before October if possible, though they do well when planted as late as Novem- 
ber 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 
window 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. 
Our Freesias are a larger size than last year hence some of them cost a 
few cents more per dozen. Others cost less.
