24 PETKR HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— BI.' LBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTING. CROCUS "The. Harbing of Spring THE CROCUS is one of the earliest flowers of spring, aud occupies a piominent place in everj' garden. Wlien planted as an edging in triple lines of one or more colors, tlie effect is striking. No spring display surpasses that of Crocus ; the broad wavy bands of golden- yellow, striped, pui"p)e, or of pure white, when they expand their blussjonis in February and March, are incomparable. In lawns and pleasure parks, planted in the grass, the Crocus is ex- tremely effective. They are easily planted indis- criminately in the turf with the aid of a dibber — after fall rains have made the sod moist. The flowers and foliage are gone before the lawn needs mowing, so they do not interfere with the summer beauty of the lawn. For several years pa.^t Crocus, Snowdrops, Daffodils, etc., have been planted in our parks and lawns, in wild places, wood- land walks, etc., to the great delight of visitors and enhanced decoration of the parks. In one of the parks thousands of Crocus were used in tlie grass, and the effect was matchless. Mixed Crocus COLORS SEPARATE. Delivered Free i in U. S. Buyer paying Iransil. Blue and purple, mixed..
