Crocuses 
This is one of our earliest Spring flowers and on account of its varied colored blossoms, is remarkably 
■effective. The more thickly crocuses are planted the finer is the effect produced— say in clumps of six, 
twelve or more bulbs, or in beds of one hundred to five hundred bulbs, either in separate colors or mixed. 
With ordinary care they will bloom freely in any sitting room window. 
CULTURE. Plant the bulbs two inches deep and two or three inches apart. When grown in pots plant 
thickly and treat as in the cultivation of the hyacinth. 
If ordered by mail please add fifteen cents per hundred for postage.

Amaryllis 
The bright colors and handsome form of the Amaryllis make it very effective both for greenhouse and 
parlor decoration, while its cultivation is so simple that it can be grown by anyone. The soil most suitable 
is a good loam, with one-fourth part of leaf mould and a proportion of sand ; water moderately until the 
plants show indications of flowering. Frequent disturbance of the roots should be avoided.

Freesias 
These are much prized on account of their graceful form and 
•delightful fragrance. They are of the easiest possible culture and a 
pot of five or six bulbs will be sufficient to perfume a large room. As 
cut flowers they are extremely valuable; the unexpanded blooms 
opening in water fill the air with the most delicate perfume and last 
for many days.
