WINTER AND SPRING FLOWERING BULBS AND PLANTS Dingee's Early-Blooming Crocus Since the poet sang "A soft breeze kissed the ex- pectant morn, a bluebird sang- a witching strain, a Crocus bloomed and Spring was born," this charming little tlower has been noted as the first of the Spring- time. The attractive flowers mark the coming of Spring and, with their beautiful shades, tone the deepening green of the lawn. It is entirely hardy and, left undisturbed, will continue to bloom each year. The best results with Crocus are obtained when they are given a rich, dry soil and sunny location. The bulbs should be planted about three 2% inches apart; set singly or massed favorite plan is to raise the soil with trowel to the depth of three inches, place the bulb beneath the sod and press back into place. Crocuses are also great favorites for house culture, giving very satisfactory re- sults. For bloom- ing indoors the J0^^ r pans in k^ ST. N. which they are planted should be plunged out- doors until a inches deep, in beds. A a spade or hard freeze or so.
