IN THE HOUSE 
As the illustration shows, this amazing bulb will 
bloom without soil, water or any care. Simply place 
the bulbs on the table and watch the flowers open. 
Beautiful for gifts. Ideal for apartments. Interesting 
for an invalid friend. Better results are obtained if 
the bulbs are placed in a dish near the light with 
soil and moisture. 
IN THE GARDEN 
These Autumn flowering bulbs are at home either 
in the border, lawn or rock garden. The large crocus¬ 
like blossoms appear after the foliage has died down 
and they give, when established, a succession of 
flowers from August till October. 
Colchicums will bloom under nearly any conceiv¬ 
able condition. You can put them in cold storage 
in a dark cellar, pack them away in boxes, plant them 
in the ground, or set them on the dining room table. 
Outside of destroying them, it is impossible to keep 
them from blooming. If allowed to bloom without 
sunlight, however, the flowers are pale and not so 
attractive as if given light. 
We know of no other flower that will be as interesting and will give you the pleasure these bulbs will. 
Be sure to try some of them this year. 
Give a few to your friends. They make an interesting gift that will not be forgotten. 
Early orders are imperative as the flowers insist on coming when ready. Shipment in August.

What Our Customers Say 
Omaha, Nebraska, October 31, 1934. 
Last fall I bousht a hundred Princeps and a hundred 
Madame Plemp Jonquil bulbs from you and I couldn’t 
begin to tell you what great delight they brought us this 
spring. They were the most beautiful sight! 
Lykesland, So. Car., December 3, 1930. 
Forcing Colchicums was such a great success—this is 
the ideal forcing bulb. They were lovely planted in peat 
moss with this setting—the pink bowl, gray moss, lavender 
blooms. I longed to be near enough to send one bowl 
with 45 blossoms all fresh and beautiful at the same time. 
I have been forcing bulbs for about thirty years and find 
these the most satisfactory I have ever had. 
Fort Worth, Texas, November 16, 1934 
The greatest floral joy that ever came into my life was 
when you sent me last fall the 100 Van Sions for $2.00. 
Will you do it again? I love them. 
Austin, Texas, November 20, 1934. 
Finest bulbs I have ever seen. 
Rockville Center, N. V., August 3, 1934. 
The bulbs my neighbor and I sent for last year were so 
nice that I want others to know about you. 
Healdsburg, Calif., September 30, 1934. 
Your bulbs of last year were of fine quality and the 
blooms lovely. 
Randolph, Wis., August 30, 1934. 
We bought some Narcissus bulbs from you last fall and 
they certainly grew beautifully. I wish you would send us 
your prices on such bulbs as you have for sale. 
Wallace, Idaho, November 6, 1934. 
The bulbs were received and I wish to congratulate 
you on the exquisite quality. 
Michigan City, Ind., October 20, 1934. 
The quality of your stock seems exceptional. 
Boston, Mass., October 11, 1934. 
May I acknowledge receipt of the Narcissus bulbs. 
Emperors were splendid ones and the Sir Watkins very 
nice ones and far above the price paid—quality. Thanks.
