Spring lowering Grocus Species 
Besides the well known Dutch Crocuses there are certain species 
that bloom very much earlier in the year, often before the snow has 
gone. And what is more all are permanent, coming up season after 
season without care. 
No garden is complete without some Crocus Chrysanthus Canary- 
bird and E. A. Bowles. Their brilliant yet delicate yellow flowers are 
exceptionally fine. Yellow-colored Crocus varieties are few and we, 
therefore, want to call your attention to these two little known varie- 
ties which are perfectly beautiful in the spring when they open their 
flowers to the first warm rays of the spring sun. 
Once planted they will take care of themselves for many years.
