 the first rich blue color of spring. Grows 

 well in any garden soil and increases 

 rapidly. Plant the bulbs 3 inches apart 

 in either sun or shade covering 3 inches 

 deep. Splendid planted in masses. 

 Blue with white center. 12 for 35c; 

 too for S2.25; 1000 for S20.00. 



Sardensis. This resembles Luciliae in a 

 general way but the blooms are a rich 

 blue with just a very small white eye. 

 They make a fine display in a semi- 

 shaded spot of the garden and should be 

 planted in mass for good effect. 12 for 

 40c; 100 for $2.50; 1000 for $22.00.

 cies whose flowers though not as 

 large as those of the horticultural 

 varieties offered above are never- 

 theless highly valued because

 with gold in the throat. An ex- 

 tremely free flowering species.

Colchicum a ® 



Meadow Saffron 

 Autumnale. Plant the large bulbs in September 

 covering 5 to 6 inches deep with rich sandy soil. 

 They will begin growing immediately and give 

 you a splendid display of large, Crocus-like, 

 lavender flowers during October. A very interest- 

 ing plant producing its heavy foliage in the spring. 

 Fine for beds, rock garden, and much prized for 

 growing in a saucer without water. After 

 flowering indoors plant the bulbs in the garden. 

 35c each; 12 for $4.00; 100 for $30.00. 



Giant Flowering 

 Spring Crocus A ® 



These are among the leading flowers of early 

 spring because they are perfectly hardy, exceedingly 

 showy, and long lived. Use them generously in the 

 lawn or in the front of shrubbery. Plant during the 

 fall and cover the tops 3 to 4 inches deep. For mass 

 effect space the bulbs 2 to 3 inches apart. If grown 

 in the lawn the grass should not be cut until the 

 foliage has yellowed or otherwise the plants will lack 

 strength to bloom next year.

brilliant rich purple. 

 Kathleen Parlow. The finest of all pure white 

 Crocus having extra large cup-shaped blooms 

 with rich orange anthers in the center.
