FREESIAS 
Without doubt the most sweetly scented flower grown: a si 
permeates the living-room with its delicate perfume: ARRccoh tree 
quite popular and very easily raised, we suggest the following treatment: 
Procure the bulbs as early as possible and plant them in August, 6 to 25 
bulbs for a single pan. The soil should be a mixture of good loam. The 
bulbs planted early, say August and September, must be placed outdoors 
until cold weather sets in; must be regularly watered and kept growing all 
the time. In November, before frosts appear, the pots should be placed 
in the window of a cool room.

FRITILLARIA - Mission Bells 
The true Mission Bells do better in a clay soil in full sun. The woodland 
Fritillarias like woodland soils and conditions, and in cultivation some shade 
and a free soil. They are hardy as far north as Wisconsin.

Grows from 11 to 3 feet high. The flowers are green and brown mot- 
tled prettily, produced on top of the stem, a most attractive variety.

ceolata with orange-scarlet flowers of a lovely clear brilliant coloring.

clear bright yellow bell. Likes sandy or loose soils and a warm spot in 
the rockery where you will enjoy it immensely. 
GALANTHUS - Snowdrops 
Snowdrops belong to the most beloved early flowering spring bulbs. They 
require very little attention, and can remain undisturbed for years and 
years. They like rather moist and cool soil. To get a lovely effect they 
must be planted thickly, while they can be grown under trees and shrubs, 
in woodlands and in lawns. In the latter case, the lawn should not be 
mown before the leaves are withered, or next year’s blooms may be spoiled. 
Elwesi Six 85ce, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00 
This is the old-fashioned favorite. Its lovely white nodding blooms are 
out before the frost is out of the ground; one of the lovely bulbs that 
tell us spring is almost here. A group naturalized in the shade of shrubs 
or under trees is worth while. Once planted they remain for a lifetime.
