CROCUS NATURALIZED 
Miscellaneous Bulbs 
Anemone 
These are extremely attractive and showy flowers, bril¬ 
liant in color and with elegant foliage. The Anemone is not 
quite so hardy as other bulbs, but if planted in October or 
November, and covered l to 3 inches deep in a moist, rich, 
well-drained soil, and then protected by leaves or litter, very 
beautiful flowers may be expected. If grown indoors put 
three or four bulbs in a 5-inch pot, using rich, porous soil. 
Keep the pots in a moist, cool situation until the roots are 
well started, when they may be removed to the room where 
they are desired to bloom. Give plenty of water. 
St. Brigid. A new and greatly improved race of Irish pro¬ 
duction, bearing magnificent flowers, of the richest as 
well as the daintiest colors. They have long stems, very 
graceful for vases, 3 fori 25 cts., 90 cts. per doz., #6.00 
per 100. 
De Caen. A magnificent variety containing a wonderful 
range of colors. 3 for 20 cts., per doz. 60 cts., per 100 
$4.25. 
Crocus 
Splendid for Rock Gardens 
One of the earliest flowers seen in the Spring. They are 
neat, dwarf and compact in growth, and the blooms are of 
bright colors. If planted closely—say 2 inches apart—and 
3 inches deep, they make a very pretty display immediately 
after the snow goes off in the Spring. Do not disturb for 
Several years. Not less than one dozen sold.
