and probably in all climates where temperatures do not go below zero, if planted 
in a well protected place, 5” or 6’’ deep and well mulched. I believe they might 
ke grown in warmer sections of the north if planted deeper than frost penetra- 
ion, in a well protected place and well mulched. But you must obtain bulbs in 
fall, if you wish to try spring planting, and store cool. We can’t hold them back.

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 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. 
Tritonia, Ixia, Sparaxis, Streptanthera, Babiana and Freesia are closely re- 
lated genera. The culture is the same for all of them. All do well in pots in a 
sunny window of a cuovl room or outside garden in south, 
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. We 
offer forcing size bulbs, %” to 5%” diam.
