CULTURAL INSTRUCTIONS—for home planting 
1st Operation. Place bulbs in an upright 
position. Use beach - stones, shells, or any 
other material in your possession to hold 
bulbs upright. 
2nd. Fill bowl with water up to two-thirds 
of the bulb. Place bowl in a dark place in 
the house until root-action starts and foliage 
appears. Then remove bowl to a light place 
and allow bulbs to bloom. 
3rd. When bulbs are in bloom try to main¬ 
tain as cool a temperature as possible, to 
prolong the life of the flowers. Provide for 
successive blooms by planting new bulbs 
every ten days throughout the winter season. 
4th. If you are located in a southern cli¬ 
mate, after bulbs have bloomed you can re¬ 
move them to your garden and plant in the 
soil in a permanent place.
