GIANT FLOWERING CROCUS 
We have always been known for the large size crocus bulbs we send out. 
The flowers are of much larger size than on ordinary size bulbs. Plant them 
in drifts in the border, the lawn, between shrubs and trees, etc. They furnish 
such a lot of bright color so early in the spring.

NARCISSI 
(Daffodils) 
Early spring flowers are always so welcome and Narcissi (Daffodils) are par- 
ticularly pleasing. Plant them in drifts among shrubs and trees and in the 
flower border. Narcissi should be planted in early fall and it is always 
desirable to apply a light mulch after the ground is frozen.
