other grower’s. They are even too close to the cost of digging, cleaning and packing as 
this is a difficult, time-using job. But we offer 1000 bulbs, our selection of assorted 
and named varieties, labelled, for $30.00 per 1000. These will be field run blooming 
sizes and as many varieties included as are available when shipped. By express, f.o.b. 
How to Grow Freesias, Sparaxis, Ixias and Babianas. This closely related group of 
bulbs have similar culture requirements. We could also include their close relative, 
Gladiolus nanus, here. All are hardy only in the south where winter temperatures go 
no lower than about 26°. At about that temperature some injury results but bulbs 
survive. They mature if even several degrees colder. Where temperatures are about 10° 
colder they may be grown’ in cold frames, cloth house or unheated houses. 
In the north, all are fine bulbs for pots in a cool room in the house or greenhouse. 
As they are naturally winter growers, they must have cool conditions and they do not 
flower well when forced at a temperature range of much above 40° to 60°. 
_ They should be grown in flats 4” deep or in bulb pots or pans. A friable sandy 
loam with much leaf mould added is the best soil. If part of the humus is from 
composted, well rotted manure, better flowers result. Plant 6 to 8 bulbs in a 5” to 7” 
pot and cover lightly. 
In the outside garden, bulbs may be planted 2” to 3” deep and 10 to 20 to the 
foot, according to size. Give full sun exposure. Plant or pot early. Sept. and Oct. are 
best months. Good results follow Nov. planting and Dec. planted bulbs usually flower 
well but stems are shorter and flowers are usually a little smaller. We supply the largest 
bulbs we can grow or buy as they give stronger plants, larger and better flowers and 
are more sure to give maximum results than small bulbs. 
Freesias are the most deliciously fragrant flowers one can grow. The fragrance is not 
too heavy and is not cloying in the house or outside. The first four in this list are the 
new Tecolote Giants. They are much taller and flowers equal the size of Baby Glads. 
Freesias are very easy in pots and are most desirable for both beauty and fragrance.
