BEAUTY DANCE ACROSS THE LAWN BEFORE TREES AWAKE 



As good 

 as a room 

 full of sunshine 



C. & J. 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 planting in the grass in lawn 

 or yard. Crocuses are also very highly 

 valued for house culture. 

 ''Plant your Snowdrops in September; 



Scilla, Snowflake, Crocus too; 

 If you wait until November 



These won't wake so soon for you." 



Crocuses 2^2 inches deep, in the autumn. They look especially 

 well scattered over the lawn as in this picture

Early Spring-Flowering Bulbs for Naturalizing 



If your lawn and grounds are a pleasure to you during the summer and fall, why not extend this pleasure 

 by beginning a month or so earlier in the spring than you have been doing? This can easily be managed by 

 naturalizing some bulbs, such as Crocuses, Narcissi, Daffodils, and Jonquils. Crocuses should be planted 

 in the open where they will get full sunlight, and they are most effective when scattered over the lawn 

 and not planted in straight rows. Poet's Narcissi can be planted in clumps in corners and, like Jonquils, 

 can be used for edging beds. Daffodils prefer some shade and a good deep soil but will grow almost any- 

 where. If you plant Crocuses, Poet's Narcissi, and Daffodils you can have a range of colors from silvery 

 white and shades of yellow to deepest blues to brighten the early spring. Start this season.
