Spring Flowering Crocus 



READY FOR DELIVERY IN SEPTEMBER 



Crocus 



The earliest of flow- 

 ers to show its head 

 above the grass al- 

 most before the snow 

 is gone. Crocus will 

 grow in any place — 

 in the lawn, in flower 

 borders, in rock gar- 

 dens, edge of shrubs, 

 on the slopes of ter- 

 races, in sun or shade 

 or even under trees. 

 The little gem has en- 

 deared itself to all 

 those who look to na- 

 ture for signs of re- 

 turning spring. 

 Plant during the Fall and cover the bulbs 2 to 3 inches deep. For mass 



effect, space the bulbs 2 to 3 inches apart. If grown in the lawn, the grass 



should not be cut until the foliage has yellowed or the plants will lack strength 



to bloom the following year.
