LARUE-FLOWEKED CROCUSES 
CROCUSES IN THE GRASS 
There is no reason why everybody, even if the possessor of only the smallest strip of grass, should not have it filled with Crocuses. 
Tin.. is but a trifle, and once planted they are no further trouble, and bloom beautifully year after year and do not interfere with the 
mowing or care of the lawn; but grass should not be mown for two weeks after flowering of Crocuses, and it does not need mowing earlier 
than this. They should be planted in the fall and set from 1 to 2 inches below the surface of the ground; they can be planted with a narrow 
trowel or stiff-bladed knife. Mowing the grass in the spring after the Crocuses are done blooming will not injure them in the least. 
The Crocus is the first flower to bloom in the spring, and it is no unusual sight to see the ground covered with snow and the Crocus in 
ldoom at the same time. They are entirely hardy, do not deteriorate, and mav be left undisturbed for years. It is a good thing to plant tulip 
ami hyacinth beds full of them, as they bloom and are out of the way before tiic other bulbs flower. r 
Our advice would always be to plant Named Crocuses; mixed sorts rarely give satisfaction
