Plant in August and September 
HE great pleasure of having quantities of these lovely flowers in our gardens, in the lawn, along the bank or driveway, 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. Very fine for the rock garden. 
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. 
You need only to reserve some of these now, for planting during late August or early September; these gems will flower with- 
in two or three weeks after planting, blossoming luxuriantly from year to year. 
For color contrast and for fine effect, we recommend a planting of Sternbergia lutea with these.
