Fritillaria pudica 
FREESIA 
Without doubt the most sweetly scented flower 
grown; a single bloom permeates the living-room 
with its delicate perfume. Quite popular and 
very easily raised. Procure the bulbs as early as 
possible and plant immediately, six to twenty- 
five in a single pan. The soil should be a mixture 
of good foam. Place the bulb pan outdoors 
until cold weather sets in; water regularly and 
keep growing all the time. In November, before 
frost, the pots should be placed in the window 
of a cool room.

MISCEL 
FRITILLARIA (Mission Bells)

Galanthus (Snowdrop) 
GALANTHUS (Snowdrop) 
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, and to give the 
best effect they must be planted thickly. They 
can be grown under trees and shrubs, in wood- 
lands, and the rock garden.

IXIA (Corn Lily) 
These beautiful bulbs from the Cape Colony 
(South Africa) are far too little known. They 
should be planted in Jate autumn and in cold 
districts must be covered with a thick layer of 
straw or leaves. They are splendid for southern 
states. There are few bulbs so lovely and grace- 
ful, and those fortunate enough to live where 
the climate is mild should plant them by the 
hundreds.

bronze. Outstanding. 12 for 95c; 25 for $1.65;

LANEOUS BULBS, continued 
IXIOLIRION

hardy bulb which in early June produces 
several deep blue tubular flowers on slender 
stems. One of the last of the small ‘“‘spring” 
bulbs to flower. 12 for 75c; 25 for $1.35; 
$4.50 per 100. 
LACHENALIA 
These bulbs are especially useful for forcing, 
since they can be grown in flats or in pots. They 
do well out-of-doors in milder climates and are 
showy in beds, borders, and rock gardens. They 
have from one to two dozen generally pendulous, 
firecracker-like flowers, 34 to 1 inch in length, 
on stems 6 to 9 inches tall, and bloom from late 
November to February, depending on the time 
of planting and the temperature in which they 
are grown. ‘The culture is the same as for 
Freesias. May be had in bloom at Christmas. 
Bulbs multiply freely and may be used from 
year to year. 
Aurea. A beautiful variety producing 8 to 10- 
inch spikes of golden yellow flowers; very 
easily grown in the house. Like Pendula, it 
can be had in bloom for Christmas by simply 
growing it on the window sul m full sun. 
6 for 95c; 12 for $1.85. 
Pendula Superba. Flowers brilliant coral-red 
tipped green and purple, with two or three 
tultp-like green leaves. One of the best and 
earliest. Excellent for indoor growing.

Ixioides Odorata. Very long-lasting exquisite 
light blue flowers with faint heliotrope fra- 
grance on tall, wiry stems. For greenhouse 
culture or outdoors in warm states. Blooms in 
March and April. Unquestionably one of the 
loveliest new bulbs introduced. We predict 
it will be as much used as Freesias as scon as 
the price permits. 6 for 95c; 12 for $1.85.
