Gorgeous COLCHICUMS 
bal see SENSATIONAL WONDER BULB 
The only bulbs that will bloom indoors without soil, without water, without care. 
Place 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 bulb does not end after the blossoms fade, for they may 
be planted 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.

STERNBERGIA LUTEA 
(Golden Yellow Autumn Flower) 
We have been fortunate in obtaining a shipment from Turkey, 
where the Sternbergias are native, and we are now able to offer 
you these scarce flowers. The bulbs develop their foliage shortly 
before blooming, adding to the beauty of the richly textured yel- 
low flowers which come into bloom around mid-September, and reach 
a height of 6 to 8 inches. They are perfectly hardy and may be 
used for potting indoors also. Plant in late summer.

Please send me another Colchicum Collection. The bulbs I 
got before were exquisite when they bloomed and caused much 
comment.

Sternbergia Lutea 
Lycoris 
ff ycontd Squamigera 
(Hardy Amaryllis Halli) 
Produces attractive green foliage which grows 
from early spring until July, when it ripens and 
disappears. About a month later, as if by magic, 
the flower stalk springs from the ground to a 
height of 2 to 3 feet, developing an umbel of 
large Lily-shaped flowers, 8 to 12 in number, of 
a delicate lilac-pink shade. The bulb is perfectly 
hardy. In planting, cover crown about 4 inches 
with soil. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00; $6.75 per doz.
