QUEEN WILHELMINA CROCUS All Extra Large and Fine. These varieties are the grand prize-winners at a re- cent national exhibition in Holland. They show much improvement over older sorts and are the last word in nig-flowered Crocus. Agnes Maria—Large, beautiful blue. Black Knight—Deep purple-black; glossy. Fantasia—Very large, outside striped blue on light ground. General Gordon—A very dark and richlv colored sort, being a deep purple, and extra large. King of the Blues—Immense glossy blue. King of Whites—Extra large and fine. Probably the very best white sort. Lilaceus Superbus—Light blue edged white. Maxmillian—Pink shaded blue. Pres. Grant—Light blue striped white. Very large. 40c per doz.; $3.00 per 100; 3 each of the 9 sorts for $1.00. 40-Flowered, or Giant Yellow Crocus It is astonishing the amount of blooms a single bulb of this Crocus will furnish. The handsome flowers are very large and brilliant, and a row of them is a wave of gold. Not another flower of its season makes such a display of brightness or becomes such a complete mass of bloom. More than forty blooms have been counted from a single bulb. Bulbs are about the size of a Tulip and bloom extra early. The most satisfactory Crocus grown, owing to its enormous size, bright color and abundant bloom. 3 for 12c; 12 for 40c; 100 for S3.50. Mixed Queen Wilhelmina Crocus (Giant Flowered) This strain is a special mixture of best new sorts and improved seedlings. Only those sorts with the largest flowers and best colors are admitted in the mix- ture. Either for garden or house this Crocus mixture cannot be surpassed. Crocus for the house do not thrive under drv heat or gas, but do well in any sunny window of moderate temperature. 30c per doz.; S2.00 per 100; S18.00 per 1000.
