GIANT (Aulumnale majus). The bulbs possess the peculiarity of producing, 



without soil or water, a mass of beautiful, fragrant flowers in September. 



Simply place the bulbs without earth or water on a mantel, table or desk, 



and in a very short time they will produce their large, crocus-like flowers. 



When the flowers 



are faded, the 



bulbs can be 



planted in the 



garden, and in 



the fall you can 



again dig them 



up and flower 



them as before, 



or if left undis- 

 turbed, they will 



bloom in the fall 



year after year.
