CASHMAN NURSERIES, 
Crocus 
One of the earliest flowers to open m spring, the 
Crocus makes an effective show when planted in 
masses or where three or four rows are arranged in 
the border. They are perfectly hardy and can be left 
in the ground for several years without being dis- 
turbed. They come assorted in many varieties and 
shades of white, yellow, lavender and purple. 
Bulbs 
For Spring Planting 
To bring beauty during late summer and fall when 
most of the earlier ilowers have come and gone there 
should be a liberal planting of Dahlias, Cannas and 
Gladiolus. They will help round out the season in a 
pleasing way. They cannot be treated as other bulbs 
or perennials as frost is fatal to the tubers. Dig them 
up in the fall before the ground freezes and after they 
have been thoroughly dried and cleaned store them in 
a cool, dry part of the eellar in shallow boxes. 
Cannas—A wonderful bedding plant, very bold and 
striking in appearance. Does well in aimust any soil 
but responds quickly to good care and fertilization. 
Plant two feet apart and three to four inches deep.
