Crocus, Spring Flowering 
As edgings to beds—and bordering walks—or as 
undergrowth among tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, or in 
groups in the lawn they are very effective, as the flowers 
are over when the other bulbs begin blooming. 
Crocus are also easily flowered in the house in 
winter, grown in pots and pans of soil. For instructions, 
see leaflet, ‘How to Grow Bulbs,’’ sent when requested. 
We offer only the larger bulbs which produce more 
and larger flowers.
