CROCUSES 
Crocuses are among the earliest of spring flowers, and are most effective 
when planted under the sod about the lawn. They can be strewn thickly 
over the surface and should be planted just as they fall, merely lifting the 
sod with a knife or trowel, slipping the bulbs underneath and pressing the 
sod back into place. Planted in this way they will live for years, and are 
always a most welcome harbinger of spring. They can also be used in 
design beds, in which case none but the named varieties should be planted. 
Mixed Crocuses, in separate colors, Blue, White, and Striped, or all 
colors together. 25 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 100, Si2 per 1,000.
