CROCUS. 



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

 neat, dwarf and compact in growth, and the hloonis are of bright colors. If plante<l 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 groiind for three weeks after plant- 

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



If ordered bi/ man, add I't ccnta per 100 for postage.

HYBRID NAMED CROCUS. 



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

 ties are best for forming letters or designs on the lawn, for which purpose they may be planted without disturb- 

 ing 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.
