CROCUS 
One of our earliest spring flowers, brilliant and universally admired, occupying a prominent 
place in every garden. When planted in large groups or lines of distinct colors the effect is 
striking. Flower beds and flowers are made very attractive with a few clumps or rows 
of the different colors. These thrive in any soil or situation, but to be had in the highest perfection they should be grown 
in a deep, rich, sandy loam, and in a sunny location. Plant two to three inches deep. 
Best results are obtained from early planting.
