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 should be much more extensively cultivated on account of their un- 
surpassed decorative beauty. Plant 3 to 4 inches deep.
