CAMASSIA 
C. esculenta — This beautiful race of bulbous American plants are planted 
far too little. Fine starry flowers of a good rich blue on spikes 15” 
to 18” tall; narrow grassy foliage. Delightful to use as an accent in 
the rock garden, or in the flower border. June blooming. They 
prefer a moist ground during the growing season and should be left 
undisturbed. Due to the small bulbs this species make they should be 
planted 4” to 5” deep and 4” apart. $.30 per 10 $2.25 per 100

These are the harbingers of spring. They should be used in great quan- 
tities in the front of the flower border, at the edge of foundation plantings, and 
in drifts in the rock garden. Plant 3” deep and 1” or 2” apart. They will 
increase rapidly, and you will enjoy them year after year. 
C. gigantea (grandiflora) — This is the most delightful and largest of the 
group. The flowers are produced three to four on a stem that is 3” 
to 4” tall. Beautiful light blue color with a slight variation in shades.

CROCUS 
Crocus are the jewels of early spring. Most of the colors found in precious 
stones are represented in this genus. There are white, silver,amethyst, violet, 
ruby, lilac, butter yellow, pencil striped varieties. Being early flowering, they 
are the most visited by the honeybees, who feed on the pollen. Plant in the 
sunny border, in clumps of twelve or more, for the Dutch varieties. The Species 
we recommend most highly for the rock garden. They require a sandy loam. 
Plant 3” deep, 2” to 3” apart. 
DUTCH CROCUS 
We carry only top size Crocus. Price is determined by size. Our Crocus 
corms have yielded from six to twelve flowers per corm. In our last year’s 
listing, we ran smaller corms at greatly reduced prices. We have found that 
our customers by far prefer the best quality that money can buy because they 
receive more than twice the value. Small Crocus bulbs are not worth planting.

formed flowers of a fine, deep purple color. Used for general planting,
