Large-Flowered Freesias 
The colored Freesias are wonderfully decorative and praised for their delightful fragrance and 
graceful flowers, which last longer in water than almost any other flower. 
They should not be planted before the third week in September, and like to be grown in a 
cool house at a temperature of about 45 degrees Fahrenheit, which gradually may rise to 50 degrees 
towards flowering time in Winter and early Spring.

and contains many lovely shades such as rose, pink, ruby, salmon, apricot, coppery-bronze,
