TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE in this great country, who have grown flowers from seeds, know practically nothing about flowers from bulbs. They do not
know that they are the most beautifu’of all our floral gems; and pirticularly are they iguorint of the fact th it they require less care, and grow as readily as a potato
stuck into the ground. In fact, there need be no failure about them, if the few simple directions which will accompany all orders are followed.

CROCUS. — This is one of our earliest
spring 11 >wers, and producing, as all the
varieties do, dense masses of rich-colored
bl 's-o:ns. It is, beyond question, the most
effective of its season, and can hardly be
too liberally planted in every garden.
The more t ickly they are planted the
greater is the effect produced—say in
clumps, six, twelve or more bulbs, or in
• beds of one hun-
v-dred to five hun
n dred bulbs, ei-
I ther in separate

do at aa smbon

except by those
who can afford

Crocus will bloom
