C.-P. Crocuses 



These Crocuses 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 plant- 

 ing in the grass in lawn or yard. Crocuses are 

 also very highly valued for indoor flowers. 



How to Grow Crocuses. — One inch is deep enough to plant 

 If 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 six to eight bulbs in a 5-inch pot.
