BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTir\n^% 



Spring-Flowering Crocus 



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

 nent 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 ef- 

 fective. 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 fo- 

 liage are gone before the lawn needs mowing, so thev do not interfere with 

 the summer beauty of the lawn. 



AUTUMN FLOWERING 



Crocus 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 vear after year. The difference between Colchicums and 

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