CROCUS— "The Harbinger of Spring" 

 Perfectly Hardy Outdoors Fine for Indoor Blooming 



Bloom very early in the Spring, the flowers often appearing through the snow. Set bulbs 3 inches apart and 

 I to 2 inches deep. For a striking effect Crocus bulbs are usually planted in groups in the grass, although they 

 will grow and do well in flower borders, in rockeries, among shrubs, in sun or shade. Easily grown in pots dur- 

 ing the Winter. 



Giant Flowering Named Crocus 



These are large bulbs producing larger flowers than the separate colors offered below and are the best to 

 be used for pot culture or where the largest flowers are wanted for out-door plantings.

 as the Giant Flowering Named varieties offered above. For outdoor planting they are very satisfactory and can 

 be left in the ground for several years without being disturbed.
