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 im- 

 mediately after the snow goes ofi^ 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 efi^ect is beautiful. For flowering in 

 pots, baskets, etc., they should be plunged in the open 

 ground for three weeks after planting, precisely 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.

READY IN SEPTEMBER 



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 perma- 

 nent, 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 conspicuous 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. Each Doz.
