ELLIOTT BULBS PRODUCE A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN 
19 
Spring’s First Flower ^ The Crocus 
(FLOWERS IN MARCH) 
T3ETWEEN the melting of winter’s last snow and the 
blooming of spring’s first Tulip, a flat and barren 
landscape is an ordeal for sensitive people to endure. 
And it is quite unnecessary when Crocuses are avaib 
able to fill in the void. It would seem almost foolish to 
deprive oneself of the joy that Crocuses bring. Even if 
one were indifferent on one’s own account, isn’t it self' 
ish to refuse to add beauty to the world when beauty 
may be had at so little cost? 
Crocuses, the earliest of all spring-flowering bulbs, 
are also the cheapest, and there is nothing else to take 
their place. If the foliage is not cut off they will last 
indefinitely. They should be used for edging Tulip beds 
or any garden bed or shrub border. Scattered through 
the lawn, they will gleam like jewels against the verdant 
background. 
For best effects allow seven to nine bulbs for each 
square foot to be planted.
