CROCUS 
The Crocus, one of the earliest flowers of spring, occupies a deservedly prominent place in 
every garden. They are extremely effective, whether planted in bold groups in the grass or in 
broad wavy lines along the border. Plant them early. Place the top of the corms 3 to 4 inches 
below the surface and for finest effect an inch apart. Leave undisturbed until crowded. The 
following large-flowered named Crocus are some of the best in cultivation and we can confi¬ 
dently recommend them.

Golden Yellow. Fine yellow. 
Grand Lilac. Pure lilac and largest flower of its color.

ANEMONE 
With their bright and varied colors Anemones make a splendid showing dur¬ 
ing the spring and should be planted extensively. They are also excellent as cut 
flowers and make pleasing bouquets. In the South they may be planted during 
the fall and winter, but in the North spring planting is recommended. A well 
drained location with raised beds is preferred. Set the bulbs 5 to 6 inches apart 
and 2 to 3 inches deep with the pointed ends downward. In cold sections cover 
in winter with strawy manure.

blossoms of brilliant and varied colors—red, pink, blue, white, etc. See color 
illustration. Large bulbs, 45c doz., $3.00 per 100. 
St. Brigid. A very lovely and distinct class of Anemones producing large flowers, 
mostly semi-double with finely divided petals of the most brilliant colors. Greatly 
prized for cutting. Large bulbs, 50c per doz., $3.00 per 100. 
His Excellency. A grand variety bearing flowers measuring as much as 3 
inches across of the most vivid velvety vermilion, with glistening silvery 
white base and a handsome blue-black central base. Large bulbs, 50c per 
doz., $3.00 per 100. 
Blue Poppy. Very much like His Excellency except as for color. Blue Poppy, 
as the name implies, is a most attractive bright blue. Large bulbs, 50c doz., 
$3.00 per 100. 
RANUNCULUS 
Nothing produces a brighter or more gorgeous effect in May and June 
than beds of Ranunculus, while the flowers are much prized for cutting. 
They thrive in any ordinary garden soil but should have protection in 
spring from cold winds. In the South they may be planted from September 
to February, the earlier planting, however, will produce a more sturdy 
growth and a greater number of flowers over a longer blooming period. 
In the North they may be planted in April and May outdoors and will 
bloom in July and should be taken up for the winter and stored dry until 
following season. 
Plant with the claws downward; set 3 to 4 inches apart, pressing them 
firmly into the soil; keep the crown 2 inches under the surface of the soil, 
covering them first with sand and then with soil. 
Giant French Hybrids. Flowers are unsurpassed in range of brilliant and 
desirable colors and come a very large percent double. Extra large bulbs, 
50c doz., $3.50 per 100, $30.00 per 1000. Large bulbs, 35c doz., $2.50 per 100, 
$20.00 per 1000.
