PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTING. 



(Jrocus .. 



rierrtir)q 



THE Ceocus is one of the earliest flowers of spring, 

 and occupies a prominent place in every garden. 

 Wlien planted as an edging in triple lines of one 

 or more colors, the effect is striking. No spring display 

 surpasses that of Crocus ; the broad wavy bands 

 of golden-yellow, striped, purple, or of pure 

 white, when thej' expand their blossoms in Feb- 

 ruary and March, are incomparable. In lawns 

 and pleasure parks, planted in the grass, the Cro- 

 cus is extremely effective. 

 For several years past Cro- 

 cus, Snowdrops, Daffodils, 

 etc., have been planted in 

 our parks and lawns, in wild 

 places, woodland walks, 

 etc., to the great delight of 

 visitors and the enhanced 

 decoration of the parks. 

 In one of the parks thou- 

 sands of Ci'ocus were used 

 in the grass, and the effect 

 was matchless. 



Crocus Bulbs are delivered
