Spring Flowering Crocus 



READY FOR DELIVERY IN SEPTEMBER 



Crocus 



One of the earliest of 

 flowers to bloom in the 

 spring. Crocus will grow 

 in any place — in the lawn, 

 in flower borders, in rock 

 gardens, edge of shrubs, on 

 the slopes of terraces, in 

 sun or shade or even under 

 trees. This little gem has 

 endeared itself to all those 

 who look to nature for 

 signs of returning spring. 

 Plant during the Fall and 

 cover the bulbs 2 to 3 

 inches deep. For mass 

 effect, space the bulbs 2 to 

 3 inches apart.

AUTUMN FLOWERING CROCUS 



Plant Now— Bloom This Fall 



They are excellent for planting in the grass and on the borders of shrubbery. 

 Given a sheltered and sunny position in the rock-garden, they add delightful 

 color at a time when most rock-garden plants are out of bloom. 



SATIVUS (Saffron Crocus). A very showy, 

 hardy, fall-flowering bulbous plant with beau- 

 tiful purple-lilac flowers feathered with white 



and adorned with bright orange anthers. Plant 

 the bulbs in early fall and they will bloom 

 before frost. Splendid for the rock garden. 

 5 cts. each; 45 cts. per doz.; $3.00 per 100.

 flowers with contrasting orange-red anthers 



arising from a lovely yellow throat. It is

 a lovely combination of rosy lilac with a yel- 

 low center surrounded by a bright orange zone. 

 It may be grown indoors in pots or pans 

 where it will give a beautiful display. 5 cts.

COLCHICUM 



COLCHICUM (Meadow Saflfron) Autumnale Major. Autumn flowering. The flowers of this 

 unusual plant resemble the Crocus. If planted in August or in September the bulbs will flower 

 in a very short time, but the foliage will not appear until spring. They will bloom without soil 

 or water if placed in a sunny window and may be planted outside afterwards. 35 cts. each; 

 $3.ff0 for 10.

 well and bloom freely in an ordinary sitting room, if placed near a window and not kept too 



warm. They need not be 

 kept in the dark as other 

 bulbs. Plant 6 to 8 bulbs 

 in a 5-inch pot, in light, rich 

 soil. Never force but grow 

 in a fairly cool temperature.
