The only bulbs that will bloom indoors without soil, 
without water, without care 
_ Place it, just as it is, on the mantel, window ledge or table and with no 
further attention on your part, it will reward you with its exquisitely 
lovely blooms. Use these bulbs for gifts. The usefulness of the bulbs does 
not end after the blossoms fade. Plant them outdoors in the fall and in 
the spring luxuriant green foliage appears. When the foliage has died 
down, dig up the bulbs and the blooming will be repeated indoors.
