AUTUMN-FLOWERING CROCUSES 
Plant in August-September 
I FIE great pleasure of having quantities of these lovely flowers in our gardens, in the lawn, along the bank or drive- 
T way or in forgotten corners in great variety, flowering there through September into October, and some 
varieties even flowering until severe frost puts an end to all this gayety, is easily within our grasp. 
They are also very attractive grown in pots indoors. 
These crocuses grow very successfully in ordinary soils, but for the rare species we recommend adding a small 
quantity of well-decayed leaf mold to the soil and surrounding the bulbs with a little sharp sand. They are thankful 
for a little mulching. 
^ ou need only to reserve some of these now, for planting during late August or early September; these gems will 
flower within two or three weeks after planting, blossoming luxuriantly from year to year. 
For color contrast and for fine effect, we recommend a planting of Stembergia Iutea with these. 
SPECIOSUS. Bright violet-bl ue, prettily veined, having and massing in borders or in rockwork. $.60 for 10; $3.50 
orange-red anthers and light yellow throat; large, hand- per 100.
