COLCHICUM 
(Meadow Saffron; Giant Fall Crocus) 
The Wonder Bulb 
These autumn-flowering bulbs are among the 
most beautiful of woodland flowers and are at 
home in any sunny spot in the garden or rock 
garden. Each bulb produces a number of large 
Crocus-like blossoms which appear during Sep- 
tember and October. Plant the bulbs where they 
can be left undisturbed to increase each year. 
If kept indoors, the bulbs will bloom during 
September in the window without soil or w: ater 
and after blooming may be planted outdoors. 
Plant about 4 mnches deep. We offer giant size 
bulbs; each will send up several blooms. These 
should be planted early. Order as soon as 
possible.
