10 STUMPP & WALTER CO.'S BULB CATALOGUE. Crocus. THE CROCUS is one of the earliest flowers of spring, and occu- pies a prominent place in every garden. "When planted as an edging, in triple lines of one or more colors, the effect is striking. No spring display surpasses that of Crocus; the broad wavy bands of golden yellow, striped, pur- ple, or of pure white, when they expand their blos- soms in February and March, are incomparable. In lawns and pleasure parks, planted in the grass, the Crocus is extremely effective. They are easily planted indiscriminately in the turf with the aid of a dibber—after fall rains have made the soil moist. The flow- ers and foliage are gone before the lawn needs mowing, so they do not interfere with the summer beauty of the lawn. For several years past Crocus, Snowdrops, Daffodils, etc., have been plant- ed in oar parks and lawns, in wild places, woodland walks, etc., to the great delight of visitors and en- hanced decoration of the parks. In one of the parks thousands of Crocus were used in the grass, and the effect was matchless. If ordered by mail, add 25 cents per 100 for postage. Larger lots sent by express, buyer paying transit.
