CROCUS 
The Crocus is one of the earliest flowers of Spring, and occupies a prominent place in every 
garden. When planted as an edging, in triple lines of one or more colors, the effect is striking. No 
Spring display surpasses that of Crocus; the broad wavy bands of golden yellow, striped, purple, or 
of pure white, when they expand their blossoms in February and March, are incomparable. In 
lawns and pleasure parks, planted in the grass, the Crocus is extremely effective. They are easily 
planted indiscriminately in the turf with the aid of a dibber—after Fall rains have made the soil moist. 
The flowers and foliage are gone before the lawn needs mowing, so they do not interfere with the 
Summer beauty of the lawn. For several years past Crocus, Snowdrops, Daffodils, etc., have been 
planted in our parks and lawns, in wild places, woodland walks, etc. to the great delight of visitors 
and enhanced decoration of the parks. In one of the parks thousands of Crocus were used in the 
grass, and the effect was matchless. If ordered by mail, add 25c. per 100 for postage.

pot culture that we have ever seen ; it is such a 
strong, luxuriant grower, that one bulb will be 
sufficient for a 6 to 8-in. pot. The flowers are 
of the purest bright buttercup-yellow. Well- 
grown plants have produced as high as seventy 
flower stems at a time, and over 1,000 flowers in 
one season. Properly treated, the plant will 
flower in six weeks from the time the bulbs are 
planted. Ea. 3c., doz. 30c.
