tinct appeai-ance. The trumpet is fringed orange. Each 20c, 
3 for 55c, 12 for $2.00. 
SPRING AND AUTUMN CROCUSES 
P ROBABLY because they produce the first large bright show 
of color in the early spring the Crocuses possess a unique 
place in gardens. Queerly enough, however, few people realize 
the wealth of loveliness there is to be had from this cheerful 
flower. Our plantings of the early spring floweiung species 
and of the large flowering varieties have been a revelation to 
many flower lovers. 
The spring flowering species are the earliest. Seiberi started 
the season this year. While the blossoms of these species are 
not as large as those of the giant varieties, they are lovely in 
detail and are produced in the greatest abundance—as if each 
bulb was trying to outdo its neighbor in the wealth of beauty 
it could produce. 
Perhaps it was the season, but never before have we seen 
the giant varieties so large or so richly colored. It seemed 
like many of them had cups nearly as large as tulip blossoms. 
These bulbs could be used in a multitude of ways to the 
great enrichment of the early spring garden. Along the flower 
border they will make bright color almost before the perennials 
are out of the ground. Under the edge of trees they will do 
splendidly. In the grass they should be used by hundreds and 
thousands, especially grass that is partly broken with trees so 
the growth will not be so heavy that the crocuses will be 
choked out. 
They like a good loamy soil where they should be planted 
2 or 3 inches deep. If they are to be left in the ground for 
several years do not put them too thick for the bulbs increase 
mightily. And of course if you want the bulbs to do well the 
foliage should not be cut before it has become yellow—that is 
an important rule for all bulbs. Unless otherwise stated the 
bulbs we supply are strictly top size.

other plants have started to grow.
