Crocus 



One of the earliest spring-flowering bulbs. They produce fine 

 effects, if planted promiscuously throughout the lawn or in shrub- 

 bery, especially if combined with Scilla Sibirica, snowdrops or any 

 of the early-flowering bulbs. They are likewise attractive when 

 planted in rows of various colors in borders. Plant 3 inches deep, 

 and at the same time you plant other varieties of bulbs outdoors. 

 The named sorts are also very desirable for growing indoors for 

 winter bloom, six or more bulbs may be planted in a pot or pan, 

 placed in a cool situation, and when leaves appear they may be 

 taken indoors. The bulbs may also be flowered in bowls or saucers 

 in water with pebbles or ma\- be grown in moss in balls, baskets, 

 etc. For this purpose use the Mammoth Bulbs.
