; Colchicum 
; Our illustration is from a photograph of this wonder 
■of the floral- kingdom. Blooms without vase, soil, water, 
or care. Unique for table, room, or window decoration. 
Rosy-tinted blossoms shade to a pearly-white and exhale 
refreshing fragrance. 
•* Simply place the bulb in a dish, bowl, saucer, or on the 
table or window sill in a little light and watch its beauty 
unfold. As the. blooms fade and drop, cut them, off and 
others will follow in quick succession, each-bqlb-'producing 
from six to-fifteen flowers. 
5 When the blooming has ceased, the bulbs may be potted 
,pr planted in the open garden or lawn, where, the follow¬ 
ing spring they will develop ,a beautiful^ broad, deep- 
colored foliage. U 
;; Remove from bed about July first, dry.the bulb in dark¬ 
ness for a few weeks, and use for indoory decoration as at 
first. v
