CROCUS, SPRING-FLOWERING 
“The Heralds of Spring” 
Crocuses, among the first flowers to bloom in early Spring, are always the admiration of everyone, especially 
when planted amid the grass in lawns, their bright flowers producing a fine contrast. They may also be planted 
among other Spring-flowering bulbs, such as Tulips, Hyacinths and Narcissi, making a splendid show before the 
other varieties begin to bloom. The results obtained from planting Crocuses in pots or pans for house bloom¬ 
ing are very satisfactory. For this purpose it is advisable to use the best named varieties. To grow Crocuses 
in pots, place the bulbs about one-half inch apart and one-half inch deep, keeping them in a cool place until 
thoroughly rooted, when they may be brought to the light for blooming. In the open, bulbs should be set 
at least 3 inches deep. 
Mailed free at dozen prices. By Parcel Post, weight 3 lbs. per 100.
