There are few winter flowering bulbs more attractive than the Cyclamen, being an ideal plant either for greenhouse or window decoration. Not only are they beautiful when in flower, but the foliage is also highly ornamental, being beautiful mottled, and they are therefore highly decorative even when not in flower. The Giant strain here offered are much superior to the old type ; being of more robust growth and throwing the large flowers well above the handsome foliage. It is often a hard matter to get dry bulbs started into growth. We have, therefore, concluded to send out only nicely started bulbs, which we feel sure will produce grand results, having been grown from the choicest strain procurable. Giant Pure White \ " White with carmine eye " Crimson " Rose with dark eye " Mixed, varieties (If wanted by mail, add 5 cts. each for postage.) See our offer of Giant Cyclamen seed on page 42. will produce flowering plants next fall. FREESIA. This is one of the most beautiful of all Cape bulbs, possessing a pecu- liar grace of form, and its fragrance is most delightful, one pot of five or six bulbs being sufficient to perfume a whole house. As cut-flowers they are extremely valuable, the unex- panded blooms opening in water fill the air with the most delicate per- fume, and their endurance is really remarkable. They force very easily, and can be had in flower at Christ- mas, and continue in succession until June. When potted these should not be placed in a dark place like most other bulbs, but should be put directly in the light. Freesia refracta alba. Pure white ; delightfully fragrant. 3 for 5 15 cts. per doz., § per
