NEW FLORAL GUIDE, AUTUMN, 1914 



CROCUS 



As good 

 as a room 

 full of sunshine 



C. & J. Crocus are the Improved 

 Strains, noted for large flowers and 

 brightest colors. They are entirely 

 hardy, and like a rich, dry soil and 

 sunny location. They are suitable for 

 planting in beds and borders, also for 

 edging in ribbon lines of any desired 

 color; for planting in the grass in lawn 

 or yard. Crocuses are also very highly 

 valued for house culture. 

 *' Plant your Snowdrops in September; 



Scilla, Snowfiake, Crocus too; 

 If you wait until November 



These won't wake so soon for you." 



Plant the Crocus 2}4 inches deep in the autumn. They 

 especially well scattered over the lawn as in this picture 



look
