WINTER-FLOWERING CROCUS SPECIES 
There are no bulbs that give more pleasure in the garden as these Crocus-species and a rockery 
may be made more attractive, not only because of the greater variety, but also by reason of the 
succession of flowers produced by the various species. We strongly recommend them for a trial, if you 
are not already acquainted with them. They ought to be much more extensively cultivated on 
account of their unsurpassed decorative beauty. Plant 3 to 4 inches deep.
