Freestas 
Without doubt the most sweetly scented flower grown; a single bloom 
permeates the living-room with its delicate perfume. Although they are 
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 coo! room.

GFritillada Imperialis 
(Crown Imperials) 
The Crown Imperials with their stately gracefully drooping flowers should 
not be missed in any garden. They want a good soil, much sun, and can 
be left undisturbed for years. Must be planted as early as possible and 
have to be carefully protected against sharp winds, as the tall plants grow 
4 feet and more high. They are real ‘’grandmother’s favorites’ and should 
be in every hardy border or old-fashioned flower garden. (Color illustration,

NhMiuscwa- rape Htyacin ths 
Muscari are charming spring-flowering subjects. They can grow under 
trees and shrubs and also do well in full sun in the border or at a sunny 
spot of the rockery, without any special attention. They are best planted 
immediately on receipt and can remain undisturbed for years. They are 
absolutely hardy and some varieties are delicately fragrant. Botryoides, 
Azureum and Armeniacum are beautiful when forced in the house, same 
culture as Freesias; while Plumosum is always a source of great interest. 
All are about five inches high.

best for mass planting. Their flowers open just about the time that the 
Crocuses are going. They do well in the wild garden and also in grass 
not too rank. They are nice under trees and along borders where they 
may be left undisturbed. (Color illustration, page 8.)
