Freesias 
PATENTED VARIETIES 
For Forcing. Plant August to November 
These new varieties represent a new race of Freesias. The flowers 
are twice the size of ordinary varieties; the colors are intense; they 
are strong, virile growers, and the flowers are borne in immense trusses. 
None of these improvements have minimized the fragrance of the 
old type. In fact, the delicate and delightful aroma seems to be 
enhanced in these new varieties. See planting instructions on page 22.
