Crocuses. 



For massing in beds by themselves, for edging beds 

 of other bulbs, or for planting in clumps in the grass 

 on the lawn, these beautiful and earliest of all spring 

 flowering bulbs are unexcelled. We need not de- 

 scribe them, as everybody— even from childhood — is 

 familiar with them; 

 and all having any 

 love for plants ap- 

 preciate them. They 

 are always gladly 

 welcomed after 

 the long and 

 dreary winter 

 months. 



Plant in Octo- 

 ber or Novem- 

 ber, before hard 

 frost sets in; set 

 about three 

 inches apart 

 and two inches 

 deep; protect 

 with a light 

 covering of 

 straw or ma- 

 nure, removing 

 the same as soon 

 as winter is over 



**#&*&*&&*- 



They may remain in the beds year 

 after year, but if necessary maybe removed and kept 

 dry as soon as the foliage is matured, to be again 

 planted the following fall.

Autumn Crocus. 



Colchicum — A curious and interesting plant, 

 known as the Autumn Crocus. If planted in fall the 

 leaves make their appearance in spring, while it does 

 not come into bloom until fall, and the following sum- 

 mer will find it in seed. One of its peculiarities is 

 that it will bloom equally as well out of the ground as 

 in it. If placed on a shelf without soil or moisture, 

 its pretty pink flowers will appear just the same as if 

 it had been left in the ground. 



Fine mixed, large bulbs, 6c each; dozen, 60c; 

 $4.00 per 100.
