Giant-Flowering CROCUS 



MAMMOTH BULBS 



The Crocus is one of the earliest spring (lowers. They produce fine 

 effects, if planted promiscuously throughout the lawn or in shrubbery, es- 

 pecially if combined with any of the other early-flowering bulbs. Plant 

 Crocus bulbs 2 inches deep, and at the same time you plant other varieties 

 outdoors. Six or more bulbs may be planted in a pot or pan, placed in a cool 

 situation, and when leaves appear they may be taken indoors. These Mam- 

 moth Bulbs may also be flowered in bowls in water with pebbles or may be 

 grown in moss in balls, baskets, etc. 



If Mammoth Bulbs are to be sent by parcel post, add postage at your zone
