R. & J. FARQUHAR &* CO.'S AUTUMN CATALOGUE. 



CROCUS, 



With the first breath of 

 spring the Crocus appears, 

 often early in March. Its 

 hardiness and earliness 

 has made it one of the 

 most cherished spring 

 flowers. It is also highly 

 ornamental, not only for 

 bordering flower beds and 

 shrubbery groups, but for 

 planting in lawns, either 

 promiscuously or in ar- 

 rangements of color. The 

 bulbs should be set three 

 inches deep, and should 

 be planted in October or 

 early in November to 

 insure success. They are 

 very effective when com- 

 bined with Snowdrops, 

 Scilla Siberica, Daffodils 

 and other spring flowers. 

 The Crocus can also be 

 grown indoors either in 

 pots or bulb pans in loam; 

 or, in dishes filled with 

 wet moss in which the 

 bulbs are set closely, half 

 an inch below the surface.
