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.

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.
