Choice Named Crocus 
Plant during October or November, in clumps or 
masses, three inches deep. If planted along the border 
of the lawn they can be combined with Snowdrops, 
Scillas, Daffodils, etc. They are perfectly hardy and 
may remain in the ground undisturbed for years. Cro¬ 
cuses are easily forced. They should be planted very 
thickly in pots, flats or shallow boxes, filled with good 
light soil not too much packed down. The top of the 
bulb should be just below the surface. The Crocus may 
also be grown in glasses or in flat dishes with sand, moss 
or cotton hatting as a foundation. Keep the material 
in which they are set constantly moist and growth will 
soon begin. *
