C.&J. Crocuses 



These Crocuses are the ImproNcd Strains, 

 aoted for large flowers and brightest colors, 

 rhey are entirely hardy, and like a rich, dry 

 soil and sunny location. They arc suitable for 

 planting in l)eds and borders, also for edging 

 in ribbon lines of an\' desired color; for plant- 

 ing in the grass in lawn or >ard. Crocuses are 

 also very highly valued for indoor flowers. 



Ho'lV to Grcnv Crocuses. — One inch is deep enouKli to plant 

 [f planted deeper they may not bloom. It is best not to plant 

 in even rows, and a good plan is to scatter them over the lawn 

 and plant where they happen to fall. Just dig up a piece of 

 sod and put two or three bulbs in each spot. For indoor 

 growing they are fine but do not expose them to heat or they 

 will not flower. Plant si.x to eight bulbs in a s-inch pot.

Five Mammoth- Flowered Breeder Tulips ]iJii% 



The Breeder Tulips form a distinct class. They bloom the same time as the Giant Darwins and are 

 remarkable for their lasting qualities. When first originated by the old Dutch gardeners they were discarded, 

 as they are self colors, and the striped and feathered Tulips were the only kinds in demand when the 

 "Breeders" appeared. The bronze, violet, apricot, and buff tones, or so-called art colors, have awakened 

 the taste for these Tulips again, and no\v they are among the most popular of all the late-flow^ering kinds. 



You can plant these with your Darwins, to give added and most pleasing colors. 



APRICOT. (See front cover.) Bronzy buff color, shaded 

 ruddy apricot, with olive base. A leading kind.
