weeks after planting and keeps on three to four

plant in the winter and out of doors in the spring 
and summer as soon as danger of heavy frost is 
over.

a long period and should be very useful in the 
border especially as a supplementary plant in iris 
gardens. Corms can be held in cold storage at 40

period. Delivery August and February.
