FALL CATALOGUE OF BULBS THAT BLOOM FOR 1909. 19. Jxias, Ixias produce their beautiful flowers in spikes, and are of the most dazzling and brilliant colors and sure to at- tract great is only a few years that they have been grown in this country to any extent, bnt in that time, like the Freesias, they have become very popular. For pot cul- ture in the house they give great satisfaction, being of easy culture and free bloomers. Half a dozen bulbs may be planted in a 5-inch pot, and the display will be magnificent. For open-ground culture give them winter protection with leaves or straw. Great for garden culture in the Southern and Pacific states. Aramis—Lovely cream, maroon eye. Aspasia- Pale lemon, black eye. Beauty of Norfolk—Light yellow, magenta eye. Emp. of China—Kich yellow, large dark eye. I/ongifolia—Buff color. Vulcan—Crimson shaded orange. Wonder-(Double)—Fine pink. Fragrant. 5c, each ; the 7 for 25c. Splendid Mixed Ixias—15c. per doz. $ per 100. Sparaxis. Sparaxis are much like Ixias. The blossoms are very large and open flat, presenting some of the most curious and beautiful combinations of colors to be found.

Lemon eye. Amelina—Creamy white, strined and blotched. Matilde—Beautiful mauve, mottled. 5c each ; the 3 for 10c. Splendid Mixed Sparaxis-20c. per doz.: $ per 100. gabiapas Closely allied to Ixias and require the same treatment. Magnificent spikes of bloom e
