COLCHICUM 
Unless these bulbs are ordered by September 15, it would be advisable to 
wait a year. After that date, they make fairly rapid growth and will begin 
flowering in transit. If, however, you are within driving distance of our 
nurseries, the varieties we are offering are particularly exquisite. They also 
go under the name of Meadow Saffrons, but it is an error to call them autumn 
crocus. The Colchicums have no relation other than flowering about the same 
time. They belong to the lily family, while the fall crocus belong to the iris 
family. They are quite often offered in Metropolitan newspapers under all 
sorts of weird names such as Mysteria, etc. called the Wonder Bulb. It is true 
that you can stand the bulbs on the window sill and they will quickly come into 
bloom without water or soil. This of course wrecks the bulb. For best re- 
sults, plant outdoors where they will receive at least three to four hours of 
sunshine. They appreciate a good, well drained soil. Cover the tops with 2” to 
3” of soil. Place them 3” to 4” apart. Plant in groups of ten or more.
