CROCUS 
the first flowers of the Sprina 
Mammoth-Flowering 
Crocus 
These are large, selected bulbs of the best varie¬ 
ties and are noted for the immense size and quan¬ 
tity of their flowers and richness of color. The 
small, cheap bulbs we do not handle, as they fail 
to give satisfaction. Plant as an edging to beds, in 
careless patches in the grass, in masses among 
shrubs, or on slopes of terraces.

Crocus Species 
Winter- and Spring-Flowering 
These Crocuses are smaller and more dainty than the regular 
Dutch varieties. However, they are extremely hardy and naturalize 
more readily. Can be used anywhere, especially in the rock garden, 
and bloom very early, always before the Dutch. During mild seasons 
they will bloom from January on till April. Recommended for mass 
planting, as small patches are effective only in the rock garden. 
We urge a trial of these lovely little flowers, the first things to 
bloom in the new year.
