quisitely lovely blooms. The usefulness of the bulbs does not end with the 
fading flowers. Plant them outdoors after they finished blooming in the fall 
and next spring luxuriant green foliage will appear. When the foliage dies 
down in early fall, the bulbs can be again brought indoors for blooming, or left’ 
outdoors, if you so desire.
