SPRING FLOWERING CROCUS 



Including New Hybrid Varieties' 



Ab edgings to beds — and bordering walks — or aa undergrowth among tulips, hyacinths, daffo- 

 dils, etc., they are very effective as the flowers are over when the other bulbs begin blooming, 

 and then the crocus foliage forms a beautiful grass like setting for the later 6owering bulbs. 



Crocus are also easily flowered in the house in winter, grown in pots and pans of soil. For 

 instructions see leaflet "How to Grow Bulbs" sent with every order. 



We have discontinued offering the cheap mixtures of Crocus as the larger bulbs — produce 

 more and larger flowers.

 purest white bells twice the size of any other sort. In every way it is 

 superior. Crowns, 80c por doz ; S6.00 per 100.

Freeeias are most popular for pot culture, flowering in the winter and spring 

 in the conservatory, or window garden; 6 to 8 bulbs should be planted in a 

 4-inch pot. They force readily and can be had in bloom by Christmas if desired, 

 and by having a dozen or more pots started in the cold frame they can be 

 brought in at intervals, thereby keeping up a continuous display of bloom through 

 the winter; the flowers are produced 6 to 8 on stems about 9 inches high. 

 Piuity. A distinct and greatly improved type producing large sprays of purest 

 snow white flowers of immense size and deliciously fragrant; it is very free bloom- 

 ing and of great value for forcing for cut flowers. Extra Size Bulbs, 60c. per
