Transcript	26 IXIA. No species of bulbous flowering plants exhibits in one family such brilliant colouring as the Ixia, and for cut flowers it is invaluable. Producing very erect flower spikes with a variety of colours, variations, and delicate markings seldom found in any other class of flowering bulbs. Bulbs may be procured from September to December. They arc quite miniature in size, and, it seems remarkable that they should contain sufficient vigour to put forth such a profusion of lovely blooms. Their culture in pots is easy, they prefer a nice light sandy soil, and the pots should be stood in a cold frame until the roots have become active. If placed later in the greenhouse to mature, they must have plenty of air or the flowers may be scanty. Height 16 inches to 2 feet. Barbara, white, deeply shaded magenta, violet eye, per 100, $1.50; per doz., 20c. Conqueror, bright yellow, heavily shaded orange scarlet, per 100, $1.50; per doz., 20c. Crateroides, bright crimson, a very popular variety, per 100, $1.50; per doz., 20c.
