Crocus 



If to be sent by mail add postage at tone rates — 8 oz. 10, 

 3 lbs. 100. 



For pots and borders. A universal favorite, being one of the 

 earhest 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, precisely in the same 

 manner as directed for hyacinths.
