Crocus 



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 closely — say 2 inches apart — 

 and 3 inches deep, 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 planting, pre- 

 cisely in the same manner as directed for hyacinths.

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 without 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.
