Colchicum—A curious and interesting plant, 
known as the Autumn Crocus. If planted in fall 
the leaves make their appearance in spring, 
while it does not come into bloom until fall, and 
the following summer will find it in seed. One of 
its peculiarities is that it will bloom equally as 
well out of the ground as init. If placedon a 
shelf without soil or moisture, its pretty pink 
flowers will appear just the same as if it had 
been left in the ground.

An attractive Cape Flower, exquisitely per-

strikingly beautiful. As cut flowers they are 
very valuable. The unexpanded blooms open-.

fragrance and their endurance is really remark- 
able. Ea.-Doz. 100
