AMONG all the pretty flowers of Spring, none are greeted ^^^^ 



with a heartier welcome than the Crocus. Their flowers are lovely 

 in form, and of the brightest, freshest colors. Pure White, Golden 

 Yellow, Purple, Pink and Variegated. 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. Crocus are 

 also very highly valued for House Culture. They bloom very quickly and are so cheap that all 

 can afford to have them, Ours are the Improved Strains, noted for large flowers and 

 brightest colors.
