NEW FLORAL GUIDE, AUTUMN, 1913 



CROCUS 



As good 



as a room full 



of sunshine 



Among the pretty flowers of spring, 

 none is greeted with a heartier welcome 

 than the Crocus. Ours are the Im- 

 proved 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. They bloom 

 quickly, and are very cheap. 



Plant the Crocus 2% inches deep in the autumn. They 

 especially well scattered over the lawn as in this picture 



look
