STERNBERGIA LUTEA 
STERNBERGIA LUTEA 
This interesting and beautiful fall-blooming bulb resembles 
the Autumn Crocus but produces much larger blooms on sturdy, 
6 to 8-inch stems. The flowers are rich, brilliant yellow. Unlike 
the Autumn Crocus and Colchicum, which it resembles in 
blooms, Sternbergia has the advantage of developing its grace- 
ful foliage shortly before it blooms, adding to the beauty of 
the richly textured flowers which come forth about the middle 
of September. Hardy and’permanent in the garden. Plant the 
bulbs about 6 inches deep in a well-drained, sunny location. In 
the northern states give light protection over winter. Bulbs 
should be planted early, therefore send your order as soon as 
possible. 3 for $1.00; 6 for $1.75; 12 for $3.00.
