CROCUSES. 
Owing to the import of Dutch bulbs being prohibited for this season, we have only a few home-grown 
bulbs of the large-flowered bedding Crocuses to offer, and we should recommend those of our customers 
who want them to order early. Of the Miniature Crocuses we can supply most species (sec page 22). 
Crocuses should be planted as shallow as possible , the bulbs being barely covered ; many amateurs 
plant too deeply, which is often the cause of Crocuses failing to bloom. Early plantings give the best 
results.
