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.

No More Narcissi (Daffodils) Can Be Imported 
Owing to a ruling of the Federal Horticultural Board an embargo will be placed on the importation 
of Narcissi (Daffodils) to take effect January 1, 1926. At this writing there is no sign to show it will not 
go into effect as planned. 
Some American-zrown bulbs will, no doubt, be available in the future, but until growers here 
thoroughly understand, by experience, how and where to grow these bulbs, they will be scarce and 
expensive. 
Right now is the time to buy while first-quality Holland bulbs can still be obtained. You will find 
Narcissi (Daffodils) offered on pages 28 and 29.
