CROCUS 



For pots and 

 borders. A univer- 

 sal favorite, being 

 one of the earliest 

 flowers seen in the 

 spring. They are 

 neat, dwarf and com- 

 pact in growth, and 

 tlie 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 mow- 

 ing. The eflfect 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 di- 

 rected 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 for 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.
