FLOWERS IN MARCH 
B ETWEEN the melting of winter’s last snow and the bloom' 
ing of spring’s first Tulip, a flat and barren landscape is an 
ordeal for sensitive people to endure. And it is quite unneces- 
sary when Crocuses are available to fill in the void. It would 
seem almost foolish to deprive oneself of the joy that Crocuses 
bring. Even if one were indifferent on one’s own account, isn’t 
it selfish to refuse to add beauty to the world when beauty may 
be had at so little cost? 
Crocuses, the earliest of all spring'flowering bulbs, are also 
the cheapest, and there is nothing else to take their place. If the 
foliage is not cut off they will last indefinitely. They should be 
used for edging Tulip beds or any garden bed or shrub border. 
Scattered through the lawn, they will gleam like jewels against 
the verdant background. 
For best effects allow seven to nine bulbs for each square foot 
to be planted. 
AMETHYST. Fine porcelain-blue 
CLOTH OF SILVER. White, violet striped. 
ENCHANTRESS. A glorious, new light blue Crocus best described 
as porcelain-blue. The large flowers, while very delicate and lovely, are 
nevertheless distinct and permanent and the color does not fade with 
age. Enchantress is unquestionably the finest of the new light blue 
Crocus. 
EXCELSIOR. Lovely new light blue Crocus with largest flowers so 
far created. 40c per doz.; $2.65 per 100. 
GLADSTONE. The newest and incomparably the finest dark blue 
Crocus in existence. The flowers are the largest in the Crocus group 
and the color is the deepest, richest purple-blue possible. No other 
Crocus of its color compares with it in loveliness. 
GRAND LILAC. Lilac; very early and very fine. 
KING OF THE BLUES. Dark purple. 
KING OF THE WHITES. Large; snow-white; splen¬ 
did new variety. 
MME. MINA. Light blue striped; very early; extra fine. 
PURPUREA GRANDIFLORA. The finest purple 
Crocus. 50c per doz.; $3.50 per 100. 
QUEEN OF THE BLUES. The finest porcelain-blue 
Crocus. 
REMEMBRANCE. The finest purplish blue Crocus. 
SNOWSTORM. The largest flowers in the Crocus [i 
family, colored the purest, glistening, unblemished 
white. Snowstorm, the newest of the white Crocus, 
is by far and away the best of the whites and one of 
the best of all Crocus. 
new striped Crocus 
The flowers are as 
large as the largest 
Crocus and very deli¬ 
cate and lovely in 
color and form. In¬ 
comparably the fin¬ 
est of the striped 
Crocus.

STRIPED BEAUTY. A lovely

Enchantress 
CROCUS, LARGE YELLOW 
It will sometimes happen that a plant breeder will create a flower 
which his successors will struggle in vain to equal. Crocus, Large 
Yellow, is such a flower. Created before the founders of the Elliott 
Nursery Company were born, its equal is yet to be produced, though 
during that time, all other Crocus colors have been improved beyond 
recognition. Large Yellow is still incomparably the finest of the yellow 
Crocus and about the finest of all Crocus. 
Monster Bulbs. The finest obtainable. 45c per doz.; $2.95 per 100. 
Mammoth Bulbs. Specially selected grade. 35c per doz.; $2.55 per 100. 
Second Size Bulbs. 30c per doz.; $1.95 per 100.

five of a kind you have the privilege of ordering by color if desired; 
otherwise we will mix them for you. 25 for 55c; $1.85 
per 100; $16.00 per 1000.

ber, may be planted in the garden.
