Autumnale Each $0.25, Doz. $2.50, 100 $17.25 
Requires no soil, no water, no care. Beautiful rosy tinted blossoms, 2 to 
3 inches in diameter. Through Nature’s own process, Colchicum bulbs 
store within themselves all the fertility, water, etc., they require to bloom. 
Simply place the bulb in a dish or on the table or window sill and watch 
its beauty unfold. The blooms keep in good condition about two weeks, 
and when they wilt, cut them off and others will follow, each bulb pro- 
ducing from 6 to 15 flowers. When the blooming has ceased in the early 
fall, the bulbs may be planted in the open garden or lawn, where, each 
fall they witl bloom in great profusion, or if you prefer you can remove 
the bulbs from the ground about July first, dry them in darkness for a 
few weeks, and use for indoor decoration as at first. Orders for Colchicum 
bulbs cannot be filled before August, but you should place your order now 
for August delivery.
