CROCUS 
One of the earliest flowers to bloom in Spring; most effective 
for borders or beds, also for planting in clumps amongst shrubbery 
and for the rock garden. In lawns, planted in the grass the Crocus 
are extremely effective. An effective method of planting is to 
scatter them over the lawn by digging up a small piece of sod here 
and there and placing one or two bulbs in each spot, this gives a 
very pretty effect. The Giant Flowering varieties are also splendid 
for flowering in pots, but too severe forcing must not be attempted; 
height, 6 inches. 
If wanted by Parcel Post, add 15c. per 100 for postage.
