HYBRID NAMED CROCUS 



Remarkable for richness of color and immense size. 

 These varieties are best for forming letters or designs 

 on lawns, for which purpose they may be planted with- 

 out disturbing the grass, by the use of a dibble or narrow 

 trowel. Flowers are produced very early, and mowing 

 later on will not seriously injure the bulbs. 



If wanted by mail, add 5 cts. per dozen or 25 cts. per 100 for 

 postage

CROWN IMPERIALS {FrMHona impenaUs) 



A stately growing plant, with dark green foliage and flowers of all intermediate shades between yellow and 

 crimson; effective for centers of beds; hardy and permanent, and not so generally planted as they should be. 

 Their flowers are produced quite early in spring and are 

 very ornamental and decorative in the center of a bed of 

 other bulbous plants. The old, dull red variety, while 

 handsome, does not give anything like the effect that the 

 newer sorts do. The double varieties are especially con- 

 spicuous and desirable in every respect. They are all 

 the better for being planted in good, rich, well-drained 

 soil; the flowers will be larger and of finer coloring, as 

 well as more enduring.

CRINUM 



Splendid large-flowering bulbs, closely allied to the 

 amaryllis. The most suitable soil is a compost of turfy 

 loam, cow-manure and some sand. They should be grown 

 in large pots or tubs, about three-fourths of the bulb 

 being out of the soil. In late fall they should be removed 

 to a cool house and allowed to rest until new leaves begin 

 to appear in February. The bulbs should receive a top- 

 dressing each year when starting, and manure-water
