r-j i.(n CHOICEST SELECT CROCUS All Crocus are scarce and likely to be poor this year, Our stock is very fine. The Crocus is the recognized harbinger of spring-. Be- tween the lulls of late winter's tempests its brave little flowers appear, minding- not the least frosts or flurries of snow. For six weeks its bright flowers smile saucily at us, quite sure of their welcome. Their cost is so trifling that all can afford to plant them freely. The Crocus has been much improved late years in size of bloom and variety of colorings. Crocus are extra fine for borders, etc., and are particularly charming dotted by twos and threes over the lawn. They come in earliest spring, and peep through the grass-, as the wild flowers do in the meadow. All Blue Sorts—Mixed. All White Sorts—Mixed. All Striped Sorts—Mixed. All Yellow Sorts—Mixed. All Finest Colors—Mixed. 25c per doz.; $1.75 per 100; $15.00 per 1000. EXTRA EARLY CROCUS Here are two Cro- cus that are very early indeed, often blooming weeks earlier than others. They are of slender, graceful growth, extremely neat and pretty and are al- ways appreciated and admired. They bloom profusely and last a long time, usually showing when ttiere is yet ice and snow about. Cloth of Gold — Rich golden-yellow, outside streaked dark chocolate. Cloth of Silver—Like above but a fine silvery white. 25c per doz.; $1.85 per 100.
