CROCUS, 



For pots and borders. A universal favorite, being one of the earliest flowers seen in the spring. They are 

 neat, dwarf and compact in growth, and the blooms are of bright colors. If planted close — say 2 inches apart — 

 and in close rows, they make a very pretty display immediately after the snow goes off in the spring. Do not 

 disturb for several years. Should be largely planted in the grass on lawns. They will flower very early in spring 

 before mowing. The effect is beautiful. 



For flowering in pots, baskets, etc., they should be plunged in the open ground for three weeks after plant- 

 ing, precisely in the same manner as directed for hyacinths. 



If ordered by mail, add 15 cents per 100 for postage.

HYBRID NAMED CROCUS. 



Composed of the most beautiful varieties ; remarkable for richness of color and immense size. These varieties 

 are best tor forming letters or designs on the lawn, for which purpose they may be planted without disturbing the 

 grass, by the use of a dibble or narrow trowel. The flowers are 

 produced very early, and the mowing later on will not seriously 

 injure the Crocus bulbs. 



If ordered by mail, add 25 cents per 100 for postage.
