VELTHEIMIA

If there is any bulb that makes any more 
decorative green plant before it blooms, we 
don’t know it. If there is any bulb which is 
simpler to grow and which is perfectly happy 
in a hot apartment room, we don’t know it. 
Planted in a 5-inch pot with ordinary soil and 
placed in a sunny window it will start to grow 
at once. Its foliage is handsome, the flowers 
artistic, lasting better than six weeks. All in 
all, Veltheimia Viridifolia is a fine bulb to grow 
in the house and what's more, will last for 
many years and never fails unless you utterly 
neglect it.
