CROCUS 
NOTE: Due to scarcity of stock, Crocus will be booked only in conjunction with other bulbs. 
Crocuses have been in cultivation at least three hundred years. They flower at a time when 
every flower is of value. For outside culture, it is advisable to mix a few naphthalene flakes 
with the soil where the bulbs have been planted, since mice and squirrles are very fond of 
crocus bulbs. Plant 2 to 3 inches deep.

MUSCARI (GRAPE HYACINTHS) 
To obtain good results, we advise to plant these bulbs in the grass if it is not too rank, under 
trees or shrubs or along borders where they thrive best in rich, deep, sandy loam and are 
easily multiplied by separating the bulbs every third or fourth year. Also prove very satisfac- 
tory in rock gardens. When grown in a cool temperature in the greenhouse, they will produce 
flowers which are very fine for small bouquets or corsages.. Plant 3 inches deep. Packed
