Among all the pretty flowers of Spring, none 's^^ 



are greeted with a heartier welcome than the Crocus. Their 

 flowers are lovely in form, and of the brightest freshest colors: 

 Pure White, Golden Yellow, Purple, Pink and Variegated. 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, also for planting in the 

 grass in lawn or yard. Crocus are also highly valued for House Culture, they 

 bloom very quickly and are so cheap that all can afford to have them. Ours are the 

 improved strains, noted for large flowers and brightest colors.
