f Crocuses 
The Crocus is a general favor¬ 
ite amongst the Dutch Bulbs, be¬ 
cause of its bright showiness in 
the Spring. They are very hardy, 
do not deteriorate and may be 
left undisturbed for years. They 
make a fine show naturalized in 
lawns. In this case the tops of 
the Crocus must have time to 
ripen before the grass is cut. 
Plant Crocuses in clusters, cover¬ 
ing the bulbs with about three 
inches of soil. For the earliest 
bloom in the Spring, plant as 
early in the Fall as possible. The 
varieties marked * can be forced 
for Winter bloom, but slowly and 
in very moderate temperature. 
They may be planted in earth, or, 
in Dutch fashion in fancy bowls 
filled with water and stones. Leave 
Crocus in a temperature of 40-50° 
until the first bloom appears, 
then they will stand warmer 
temperatures.
