BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTING 



Spring-Flowering Crocus 



The Crocus is one of the earliest flowers of spring and occupies a prominent 

 place in every garden. When planted as an edging in triple lines of one or more 

 colors, the effect is striking. No spring display surpasses that of Crocus; 

 planted in large groups of golden-yellow, striped, purple, or of pure white. In 

 lawns planted in the grass, the Crocus is extremely effective. They are 

 easily planted indiscriminately in the turf with the aid of a dibber — after 

 fall rains have made the sod moist. The flowers and foliage are gone 

 before the lawn needs mowing, so they do not interfere with the summer 

 beauty of the lawn. 



The large-flowering named varieties are orna- 

 mental when flowered in pots. Six or eight roots 

 should be planted in a pot of about five inches 

 diameter. They will not flower if exposed to heat, 

 nor must severe forcing be attempted.

AUTUMN FLOWERING 



CKOCUS AND COLCHICUMS. 



Very effective hardy bulbous plants which bear their large flowers in the 

 autumn — and most of them without foliage, the latter appearing the succeeding 

 spring. For this reason they appear to best advantage when nestling in the 

 grass especially on terrace or hillside. In congenial locations they thrive, in- 

 crease and flower year after year. The difference between Colchicums and 

 Crocus is only botanical, their flowers appearing similar to casual observers. 



For Free Delivery of Colchicums add 5c. per doz. or 40c. per 

 100 to price; Autumn Crocus add loc. per 100 to price.
