violet; (corolla fading to white) apricot and deep lemon yellow, 
jasper pink and seafoam yellow, laelia pink and tourmaline pink 
and whites. 
Purpurea grandiflora (the tall deep violet flower), color Crocus 
pleroma violet for the deepest shades, with mauve for the paler 
tone, and cadmium orange stamens. These are very showy and 
the first flower to greet me on my return to the country. 
As I plant only the one variety of Crocus (against a grey 
cement house) my list is very scant among these early flowers.

Directory of Nurserymen and Seedsmen 
The following official list of most reliable Nurserymen and Seedsmen 
has been carefully compiled by different members of the Clubs. 
It comprises the names of the men whom we have found most satis- 
factory. At present it by no means includes ALL the best men in the 
country, but it excludes a few well-known names who through careless- 
ness, indifference, poor labelling, stock not true to name, or ' ' too clever 
business methods, ' ' have not served us well during the past year. 
We hope, in time, to work up this list into a most valuable asset. 
It has to be built entirely on our own experiences, not on hearsay, 
therefore, we earnestly solicit you to send us any new names of good 
firms whom you can thoroughly recommend.
