Great Beauty, Yet Fast Growing and Inexpensive 
Be prepared for a surprise after you 
plant some of these for they multiply 
so rapidly that their numbers increase 
each year and must be weeded out 
from time to time. These blooms bear 
a striking resemblance to the Orchid 
and their rich colors are most fasci- 
nating, ranging from pure white 
through golden yellow to Corn- 
flower-blue, dark violet and deep 
purple. They are excellent for 
cutting, stand a lot of handling 
and last even longer when put 
in water. All they ask is a sunny spot, 
fairly well drained and a little protec- 
tion when the weather is extremely 
cold. We know of no other bulb that | 
is so lovely and, at the same time, so 
low in cost. It is not without reason 
that in England they are known as 
“The Poor Man’s Orchid.’ By all 
means, include some of these lovelies 
in your order today.
