Burpee’s Spring Blooming Crocus 
Crocus will grow in many places—in the lawn, in flower 
borders, in rock gardens, edge of shrubs, on the slopes of 
terraces, in sun or shade, and even under trees. The best 
position is where they will receive the sun for only part 
of the day. 
For showy effect plant bulbs in masses 3 to 4 inches apart. 
For mass effect in borders set bulbs in double rows 6 inches 
apart. Such ribbon plantings are very pretty and greatly 
admired.
