. Bulbs and seeds : autumn 1913. Seeds Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs. 14 M. FERRY & CO., DETROIT, MICH. CROCUS Ready for delivery in September Among the earliest to blossom in spring is this beauti- ful little flower, lifting its head almost before the snow- has disappeared. The showy funnel-shaped flowers borne erect from the grass-like leaves are most welcome visitors in the early spring sunshine. Although most showy when massed in large beds, or when planted in Hoes of distinct colors, a very desirable effect is pro- duced by setting Crocuses here and there over the lawn. It is only necessary to lift the turf and insert the bulbs about two inches deep. Crocuses will care for themselves, blooming very early amid the grass and dying down to the bulb in ample time to be entirely out of the way of the lawn mower. They may be planted with Scilla Sibirica, the blossoms of these two earliest flowering bulbs showing very prettily together. The crocus should be planted in the autumn, in any good garden soil, about three inches deep and about two inches apart, if in beds or borders. Indoors the crocus can be easily forced if growth is maintained at a low temperature. Use the nained sorts and plant from six to a dozen bulbs in a pot of ordinary soil, or in small glasses, keep cool, well watered and give plenty of fresh air. Albion.
