BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTirNIG 



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 ex- 

 tremely 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 ornamental when flowered in pots or bowls of Henderson's 

 Prepared Fibre (see page 47). Six or eight roots should be planted in a pot of about five inches diameter.
