AUTUMN CATALOGUE, 1923.

CROCUSES. 



The bulbs should be set three inches deep and should be planted in October or early in November to insure success. They are very effective 

 when combined with Daffodils, and other Spring flowers. For a natural effect they can be scattered in handfuls and planted where they lie. Cro- 

 cuses may also be grown indoors either in pots or bulb pans in loam, or in dishes filled with wet moss in which the bulbs are set closely, half an inch 

 below the surface. 



If by Parcel Post, add postage at zone rates; weight 3 lbs. per 100.
