The best pure white of the older sorts; very free flowering. 20 cts. per doz.; $ per 100; $ per 1000. This brilliant and universally admired spring flower will thrive in any soil or situation, but to be brought to the highest perfection it should be grown in an open bed or border of deep, rich sandy loam. When planted in large groups or lines of colors, the effect is very striking, and the bulbs are now offered so cheap as to justify their liberal use. They are invaluable for pot culture. To se- cure a succession of blooms commence planting early in October, 6 or 8 bulbs in a pot (the named varieties are best for this purpose), using rich soil and planting about half an inch deep. Place the pots on a surface of ashes, cover the top one inch deep with soil, until the leaves appear when they may be removed to the house. They can also be grown in saucers or bowls, in prepared bulb fibre or in water and pebbles, in the same way as the Chinese Sacred Lily. For complete cultural notes see our new book, 'Hints on the Growing of Bulbs.' Price, 25 cts.; or sent free to customers if asked for at time of ordering. DREER'S GIANT NAMED CROCUS.
