FREESIA Ready in August One of the most popular and easily grown of the winter blooming bulbs, exceptionally val- uable for cutting. The flowers are white, last a long time and have a delightful fragrance. The habit of growth is distinctive. The five to seven upright tubular flowers are borne upon a jointed axis bent back almost at right angles to the long stem. The bulbs force easily and will come into bloom in January and February in the greenhouse. They also grow well and bloom freely in an ordinary sitting room if placed near a window and not kept too hot. They will stand a slight freezing without injury. Freesias appear to the best advantage when four or five bulbs are set in light, rich soil, in a 6-inch pot, kept in a warm, moist place until the plants are well started. Be careful to have good drainage. There is danger in watering too freely until the plants are in flower. The leaves and stalks are tender and it is desirable to sup- port them with small stakes.
