Because of their earliness, hardiness, ease of culture and bright col¬ 
ors, Crocuses are deservedly popular. Plant in groups, borders, or 
among the grass in light well drained soil 3 inches deep and 3 inches 
apart. If left undisturbed, they will thrive and increase for years, 
needing to be replanted only when they become too crowded. Plant 
not later than November and give slight protection in severe cli“ 
mates. We offer fine bulbs in four choice colors: yellow, blue, whiter 
striped. 3 Bulbs 10c; 12 Bulbs 25c: 100 Bulbs $1.70
