I noticed a blaze of color around the

for such a bright display of color.

Freesias from Seed.

1t takes "a good many Freesia bulbs
to supply the quantity of white, fairy
like, deliciously fragrant flowers that
almost everyone longs for, so that to
grow them from seed is economical
as well as interesting.
My first successful attempt at grow
ing Freesias was on this wise: In a
shady corner of the yard was a cold
frame that we once had used for vio-
lets. After it's rich, light sandy loan
had been top-dressed with leaf mold
and fine, crumbling old manure the
Freesia seeds were sOwn thinly over
the surface and covered lightly. The
soil was now thoroughly moistened,
the sashes placed in the frame and
the whole shaded until, in two or
three weeks, the tiny lance-lile points

before frost the pots were removed,
a few at a time, to the sunny
windows in a cool sitting room.
Early in December they we're strong
young plants, with healthy green foil
age and an abundance Of sweet white
buds. By Christmas almost every pot
in the windows was a perfect wealth
of white flowers.
This was but the beginning of my
success with Freesias. The constant
watching and study for so long a
period as was necessary to grow them
from seed to flower seems to have
brought me in touch with their needs,
lust as it has with a number of other
plants of this kind.
Freesia bulbs increase four-fold in
season, SO that since my seedlings be-
gan to multiply [ have had neither to
buy stock nor to sow seed. Freeslas
grow and bloom in fall and winter
and must be allowed to rest part of
the summer. Unlike other bulbs they
can be forced on from year to year,
increasing in numbers and strength
all the time.
A dozen bulbs may be planted in
six-inch pot, and this should be done
as early as they can be procured. July

heat was intense.
An occasional wedding,
watering and stirring of the
soil was all the care be-
slowed upon the Freesias
until October. Then, as
frosty nights came on, the
sashes were replaced and
the frame was banked up as
for violets. 1t is certain
that the little frame was
not entirely frostproof all
winter, yet the seedlings
kept green to the very tips
of their leaves until spring,
very properly drying off to
rest in early summer.
We were impatient to
start them growing again,
this time with a view to
winter flowers, and so, in
July, the plump little bulbs
were taken up from the soil
in the frame, planted in
pots full of rich, light soil,
and again plunged in the
same frame. After the first
watering, given to settle
them in the soil, they re-
ceived no water whatever
until the tips of the leaves
began to show.
Liquid. stimulants were
now given occasionally, and
