CROCUSES 
Caution—Wc regret we cannot accept orders amounting to less than $2.50. 
Please read the Sections, “Orders,” “Shipments” 
and “Prices” on pages 7 and 8. 
Crocuses will always find a place in every garden because of 
their earliness. It is enough merely to see their cheerful blue and 
white and yellow in March or early April; the garden has indeed 
begun to be a thing of beauty. Whether Crocuses are planted as 
an edging to beds, in irregular breadths throughout the border, in 
careless patches in the grass, in masses among trees and shrubs, 
or, best of all, perhaps, on the slopes of terraces, their attractiveness 
is unchanged. In pots, planting twelve to fifteen corms in a 6- or 
7-inch pan, they are very lovely and a revelation to those who have 
not grown them in this way. Named sorts should be chosen, for 
mixtures are never satisfactory. 
The named varieties in the following list are all new seedlings 
far superior to most of the older kinds in size or color. 
Detailed planting directions are included with the shipment of 
the bulbs. 
No order accepted for less than 25 bulbs of any one variety.

100 bulbs, $7.
