CROCUS 
Color illustration on insert 
One of the earliest flowers to bloom in spring. 
Most effective for borders or beds, also for plant¬ 
ing in clumps among shrubbery and for the rock- 
garden. In lawns, planted in the grass, the 
Crocus are extremely attractive. An effective 
method of planting is to scatter them over the 
lawn by digging up a small piece of sod here and 
there and placing one or two bulbs in each spot. 
This gives a very pretty effect. The Giant¬ 
flowering varieties are also fine for flowering in 
pots, but too severe forcing must not be at¬ 
tempted. Height, 6 in.
