Miscellaneous Bulbs and Flowering Roots 
CROCUS 
(Prices per doz. are postpaid; 100 weigh 2 lbs.) 
Should be planted liberally in lawns and grass 
plots, where they will flower very early in the 
spring, before mowing. Crocus is the first flower to 
bloom all through the East and in consequence is a 
great favorite. It grows low, 3 or 4 inches, and is 
good for borders, masses and lawn planting.
