CROCUS 



"The. 



Harbing 

 of Spring 



THE CROCUS is one of the earliest flowers of spring, 

 aud occupies a piominent place in everj' garden. 

 Wlien planted as an edging in triple lines of one 

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

 surpasses that of Crocus ; the broad wavy bands of golden- 

 yellow, striped, pui"p)e, or of pure white, when 

 they expand their blussjonis in February and 

 March, are incomparable. In lawns and pleasure 

 parks, planted in the grass, the Crocus is ex- 

 tremely effective. They are easily planted indis- 

 criminately in the turf with the aid of a dibber — 

 after fall rains have made 



the sod moist. The flowers 

 and foliage are gone before 

 the lawn needs mowing, so 

 they do not interfere with 

 the summer beauty of the 

 lawn. For several years 

 pa.^t Crocus, Snowdrops, 

 Daffodils, etc., have been 

 planted in our parks and 

 lawns, in wild places, wood- 

 land walks, etc., to the 

 great delight of visitors 

 and enhanced decoration of 

 the parks. In one of the 

 parks thousands of Crocus 

 were used in tlie grass, and 

 the effect was matchless.
