20 J. M. THORBURN & CO.'S CATALOGUE OF BULBS 



Crocus 



If to be sent by mail add postagre at zone rates — 8 o/., doz., 8 llis, 100. 



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 verj- 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 sjiring 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, 

 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 erirly. and mowing later on will not seriously 

 injure the bulbs.
