FREESIAS 
The right time to sow seeds of Freesias 
is in March or April, as soon as the seed 
is ripe. Put up as soon as possible but do 
not repot again until the second year. 
They may bloom as early as six months 
from sowing. Flowers will be had during 
the winter months: 
Grow in a cool house, never lower than 40: 
degrees Far. 
Repot each year in August for January 
flowering or in October for February 
flowers; November for March and Decem- 
ber for April flowering. Plant the bulbs 
one inch deep and 2 inches apart. Do not 
water much until growth starts, then freely 
till the plants have flowered, when you 
gradually decrease the water to July. 
When they start to flower a little liquid 
manure once a week will be beneficial. 
ORDERING SEEDS 
When so many orders for seeds come in 
as they do at this time of the year, it is 
surprising how much time can be consuined, 
in filling an order which is made out by 
the common names that are given along 
with the regular listings. The other day 
one item just stated “Camphor’’. Naturally 
this had to be laid aside until someone could. 
make it out to be packed and as this 
person already has more work than can be 
done in a 24 hour day, such orders can be 
delayed when if it was listed as given in 
the seed list any packer could find the seed. 
It will help very much if the orders gave 
the name of the flower, viz., ‘““Nepeta Mus- 
sinii. NEPE-10. 15¢’’ It could mean a 
quicker delivery. 
We might also mention that all our seeds 
are stored according to their needs and thus 
each order is filled as it is packed. Very 
few of our seeds are packaged in quantity 
and then left waiting for orders as is the 
usual case; this is one of the main reasons 
for the good germination of our seeds. 
While mentioning germination we might 
say that we actually like to hear from thos¢ 
having poor germination on any particular 
seed. It is possible that we can help to 
get a germination for there are many details 
to be watched in most all seeds. However, 
we trust that anyone buying seeds will not 
be disappointed when they have a failure; 
we would not expect better than 60% of our 
own plantings to reach the seedling stage, 
so many things do happen. 
Also, on some of the special one-column 
lists that are now appearing, without the 
usual symbol number, it will assist us if
