The finding of these Crocus in bloom is one of the genuine 
delights of life. Though we may eventually plant them by the 
thousands or may have been so long at gardening that little sur¬ 
prises us, yet that first Crocus is a great event. And we suggest 
that in every garden, no matter how large or how small, there 
be some definite Crocus corner which we can watch during those 
early days of March. Prices quoted ore for top size bulbs. The 
larger the bulb, the greater the number of blooms.

= ^Daffodils 
The past few years have seen tremen¬ 
dous progress in the development of the 
Daffodil. Magnificent new varieties are 
now available and if you are a lover of 
Daffodils may we suggest you plant a few 
bulbs of such kinds as Beersheba, Love- 
nest, Mrs. R. O. Backhouse, John Evelyn 
or Moonshine. Many of our friends are 
growing some, selling the yearly increase 
to acquaintances, making a handsome 
profit on their investment as well as hav¬ 
ing a pleasant and profitable hobby. All 
varieties offered are recommended by the 
American Daffodil Society. 
c Q)affodds fc 
or 
The greatest and most effective use of 
Daffodils is to naturalize them in quan¬ 
tity in meadows and orchards, in wood¬ 
lands and along the driveway, on the 
bank of the brook or along the shrubbery. 
By planting some bulbs on the south 
side and some others facing north, a long 
period of flov/ering, lasting well over a 
month, may be enjoyed. 
Daffodils are the most prolific of flow¬ 
ers. If you plant a single bulb it will not 
be long in gathering a family, and in the 
course of two or three years the spot in 
urcdlztncj 
which it grows will have become as popu¬ 
lous as the tents of the patriarchs. 
Planting mixed Daffodils is an invest¬ 
ment that pays large dividends, if the 
right varieties are used. 
The mixture presented by us is made 
up from named varieties and should, 
therefore, not be confused with other 
mixtures offered. This mixture is not 
grown as such, but varieties are selected 
that are especially adapted for natural¬ 
izing and will give an abundant and pro¬ 
longed flowering period, increasing from 
year to year.
