HUmUu}. CROCUS 
These Crocus are different from the Spring-Blooming Dutch Crocus, 
and bloom during the month of October, while their foliage and seed 
pods as well are produced the following spring. They are perfectly hardy 
and establish and multiply easily. Order early. They should be planted 
in September. 
Try some of these varieties for something entirely different.
