Well known flowers which last a long time after 
being cut. We have carefully selected bulbs so 
full of life that you cannot do other than be suc¬ 
cessful with them. They come in all colors, from 
very light to richest crimson. Set the bulbs six 
inches apart and three inches deep. Plant from 
middle of April to first of June. Cut the spikes 
when the first bloom begins to unfold. Place in 
water and the buds will expand beautifully and 
last for several days if water is changed daily.
