An attractive Cape Flower, exquisitely perfumed, originally pure white or faintly yellow, but developed latterly to pro- duce many colors. The flower trusses are strikingly beautiful and unexcelled for cutting. The unexpanded blooms opening in the water, fill the air with a moist, delicate fragrance, and their endurance is really remarkable. The bulbs are not hardy and must be grown inside. Plant several in a 6-inch pot about two inches below the surface. They will begin to bloom in six weeks. Each PurityâA pure white Freesia.

CROCUS. Planted in clusters by themselves in the garden or lawn Crocuses are very efl'ective. A favorite method of planting is to put the bulbs just below the sod in the lawn so that the flowers will come up through the grass in the early spring. They may be grown successfully in the house or green- house, the pots or pans in which the bulbs have been planted being kept in a cold cellar until the middle of January, as even a moderately mild tem- perature before that date will spoil them.
