Autumn Blooming Gems for yout garden 
GORGE iGuM 
(Meadow Saffron) 
PLANT IN AUGUST-SEPTEMBER — BLOOM WITHIN A FEW WEEKS 
THESE AUTUMN-FLOWERING BULBS are among the most beautiful of woodland 
flowers and are at home in either lawn or rock garden. The large crocus-like blossoms ap- 
pear after the foliage has died down and they maintain a succession of flowers from Sep- 
tember till November. We recommend them strongly for planting in grass, in which their 
delightful flowers may be seen at their best. You will consider them particularly valuable 
for their permanency. 
They are also very interesting as a house plant as they will flower in a dry state. They 
are useful placed in bowls with pebbles when they will come into flower within two weeks.
