CROCUS 
Ready for delivery in September 
Among the earliest to blossom in spring is this beautiful little flower, lifting its head almost before 
the snow has disappeared. The showy funnel-shaped flowers borne erect from the grass-like leaves are 
most welcome visitors in the early spring sunshine, 
Although most showy when massed in large beds, or when planted in lines of distinct colors, a 
very desirable effect is produced by setting Crocuses here and there over the lawn. It is only neces- 
sary to lift the turf and insert the bulbs about two inches deep. 
Crocuses will care for themselves, blooming very early amid the grass and dying down to the bulb in ample time 
to be entirely out of the way of the lawn mower. The crocus should be planted in the autumn, in any good 
garden soil, about three inches deep and about two inches apart, if in beds or borders. 
Indoors the crocus can be easily forced if growth is maintained at a low temperature. Use the named sorts and plant 
from six to a dozen bulbs one inch deepin a pot of ordinary soil, keep cool, well watered, gradually bring to full 
light and give plenty of fresh air. The crocus may also be flowered in small glasses.

SNOWDROP 
(Galanthus) Ready in September 
Before the snow has entirely disappeared there comes in many an old-fashioned garden the dainty 
white blossoms of the hardy Snowdrop. The graceful nodding flowers with their three large white 
outer petals enclosing a green and white tube are decidedly attractive in their purity and simplicity, and 
are in charming contrast with the slender dark green leaves. 
Plant the bulbs in September or October to enable them to become well established before freezing weather. Set 
about two or three inches deep and one inch apart in clumps or triple rows; if planted singly they are not so conspicuous. 
Snowdrop prices include postage.
