THOMAS J. GREY CO 
Giant Crocus—Actual Size. Doz. 35c 
Qiant Flowering Crocus 
One of our earliest spring flowers. Beautiful and a universal 
favorite. A bed, border or some clumps of these are essential 
to make the flower garden complete. To be had in the highest 
perfection, they should be planted 3 inches deep, in a deep, 
rich, sandy loam, and in a sunny location though they will 
succeed in almost any soil or situation. When planted in con' 
nection with Chionodoxa, Snowdrops or Scilla they are very 
effective. They also may be grown indoors in bulb pans, etc., 
as recommended for Hyacinths. Best results outside obtained 
from early planting.
