CROCUS

As good 

 %s a room 

 full of 

 sunshine 



Among the pretty flowers of Spring, 

 none is greeted with a heartier 

 welcome than the Crocus^ Ours 

 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. Crocus are also very highly 

 valued for House Culture. They 

 bloom very quickly and are so cheap 

 that all can afford to have them. 



Plant the crocus 2% inches deep in the Autumn. They look especially 

 well scattered over the lawn as in this picture, and make their glorious 

 show before the grass starts growing.
