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 a narrow trowel. The flowers are produced very early, and the mowing later 

 on will not seriously injure the Crocus bulbs.
