Be careful to have good drain- age. There is danger in watering too freely until the plants are in flower. FREESIA. \'\\\\ Freesia Refracta Alba, 3 for 5 cents ; 15c. per dozen; 90c. per 100, postpaid. Crown Imperial (Fritillaria Imperialis) A tall, stately plant, with beautiful bell shaped flowers, having glands at the base of each petal which shine with a peculiar lustre. The bulbs are perfectly hardy and have an odor which resembles that of the onion, but more intense. Plant one foot apart, in good, rich soil, in October or November. Well rotted manure may be worked into the soil six inches below the bulbs and the bulbs set on a level six inches from the surface of the ground. As Fritillarias increase rapidly by offsets, it is desirable to lift and divide the plants at least every three years, or the small bulbs will rob the big ones. Mixed varieties 12 cents each; per dozen, postpaid. Oxalis Admirably adapted to house culture, and nothing is prettier for window plants, as they flower freely, are in bloom a long time, and are remarkably free from insects. The flowers are of various shades of yellow, pink, red and white and are often very fra- grant. Plant in pots, six or eight bulb
