Spring Flowering Crocus 
Bloom in early March and will grow in many places—in the lawn, 
flower borders, rock gardens, edge of shrubs, on the slopes of ter- 
races, in sun or shade, and even under trees. For showy effect, plant 
bulbs 3 to 4in. apart, 2 in. deep. To avoid formal arrangements when 
planting in the lawn, scatter the bulbs and plant them where they 
fall. In borders, double rows 6 in. apart with the bulbs spaced 3 in. 
apart in each row are very showy; such ribbon arrangements are most 
striking. Well-drained, fairly rich soil will give the best results. 
Indoors: Plant 8 to 10 bulbs 1 in. deep, 2 in. apart, in a 6-in. 
container using light sandy soil to which bone meal has been added; 
water well and set in a cool cellar for about 6 weeks so that bulbs 
will become well rooted. When top growth has begun, bring them 
to the light. Keep in a cool location and gradually bring to a sunny 
position where it is not too hot. They will not stand forcing or too 
much heat. Usually bloom in six to seven weeks after they are well 
rooted. Make several! plantings for a longer blooming period.

DOGTOOTH VIOLETS 
7676 Mixed, All Sorts Beautiful little plants, 
6 to 7 in. high, with small, lily-like, nodding flowers in 
delicate tints of white, pink, cream, lavender, bright 
yellow and rose. Leaves are often prettily mottled. 
The shape of the roots gives them the common name 
of Dogtooth Violets, while the mottling of some leaves 
gives them also the name of Trout Lilies. Particularly 
suited for woodlands, shaded corners or crevices of the 
rock garden. Bloom in April. They do best in partial 
shade, in any well-drained loamy or gritty soil, moist 
and rich in leaf mold. Set the roots upright, 3 or more 
in. apart, and cover with 2 in. of soil. May also be 
grown in the house in moderately low temperature.
