Bulbs for outdoor and 
conservatory planting — 
All of the bulbs listed on this page can be grown outdoors in the south and on the west coast where 
weather conditions are favorable, but in the colder eastern and northern states, some should be 
planted in pots and after they are well started, placed in a sunny window or conservatory. 
FREESIAS 
Freesias are easy to grow, but hardy for outdoor planting only in the warmer 
states. Do not plant them outdoors in the east or northern states where freez- 
ing weather is experienced. These plants make one of the most valuable flowers 
for cutting, also, and are delicately perfumed. A single bloom permeates the 
entire room. 
When planting in pots, use a good rich loam. When ptanted outdoors, 
plant in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Plant bulbs point up, 
3 to 6 inches apart, and top of bulb 2 to 3 inches below level of ground. 
COLORS: Gold, Pink, Red, Orange, White.
