COLCHICUM 
Bloom Without Soil or Water 
Through nature’s own process, Colchicum bulbs store 
within themselves all 'the fertility, water, etc., they 
reyuire to bloom. Simply place the bulb in a dish or 
on the table or window sill and watch its beauty un- 
fold. Each bulb produces from 6 to 15 beautiful 
blooms. The only way to prevent Colchicum bulbs 
from blooming is to put them in cold storage at about 
32 degrees. Valuable for florists as they can bring 
the bulbs out of cold storage and have them in bloom 
whenever wanted. 3efore the ground freezes, the 
bulbs should be planted in the open garden where 
each fall they will bloom in great profusion. If you 
prefer, you can remove the bulbs from the ground 
about July 1st, dry them in darkness for a few weeks, 
and use for indoor decoration as at first.
