Large-Flowered Freesias 
‘The coloured 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. 
Coloured varieties Mixed. This mixture of our coloured Freesias is made up from named varieties and 
contains many lovely shades such as rose, pink, ruby, salmon, apricot, coppery-bronze, yellow and 
lavender. We recommend this mixture very highly, because they are so wonderfully decorative.
