. Bulbs & seeds : autumn 1928. Seeds Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs. 16 D. M. FERRY & CO., DETROIT, MICH. CROCUS Ready for delivery in September Among the earliest to blossom in spring is this beautiful 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 lines of distinct colors, a very desirable eff"ect is produced by setting Crocuses here and there over the lawn. It is only neces- sary to lift the turf and insert the bulbs about two inches deep. Crocuses will care for themselves, hloominp: verj- early amid the grass and dj'ing down to the bulb in ample time to be entirely out of the way of the lawn mower. Tlie 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 named sorts and plant from six to a dozen bulbs one inch deep in a pot of ordinary soil, keep cool, well watered, gradually bring to full light and give plenty of fresh air. The crocus may also be flowered in small glasses. lO 100 Albion. Large, dark purple |o 40 I3 00 Baron von Brunow. Light purple 40 3 00 Kathleen Parlow.
