Spring- flowering Dutch Crocus 
The finding of these Crocus in bloom is one of the genuine delights of life. Though we may 
eventually plant them by the thousands or may have been so long at gardening that little surprises 
us, yet that first Crocus is a great event. And we suggest that in every garden, no matter how large 
‘or how small, there be some definite Crocus corner which we can watch during those early days of 
March. PRICES QUOTED ARE FOR TOP-SIZE BULBS. The larger the bulb, the greater the 
number of blooms produced per bulb.

(Alen nt CAutumn-Flowering (Grocus 
Colchicum are autumn-flowering bulbs with large Crocus-like blossoms which appear during the 
months of September and October, without foliage. The foliage, however, appears early in the 
spring about the same time the Tulips and Hyacinths are in bloom and disappears in June. They 
are especially recommended for planting between the taller growing rock plants such as Cerastium, 
Vinca, Pachysandra, and the various Sedums, where their bold, checkered Crocus-like blossoms are 
seen to the best advantage. Blooming in September and October when flowers in the rockery are 
scarce, they are especially valuable. They may also be planted in the open woods or in naturalistic 
plantings of any sort. The bulbs, if kept indoors, will bloom during September and October in the 
window without any earth or water and after blooming, the bulbs may be planted in early November 
outdoors, and will not suffer in the least.
