70 BULBS AND TUBEROUS-ROOTED PLANTS. 
White.—Mont Blanc, La Neige, and Queen Vic- 
toria. 
Yellow.—Large Yellow, Largest Size. 
Blue.—Large Blue, and Lord Palmerston. 
Purple.—In this class the blues might have been 
placed, as a really blue crocus does not exist; those 
named simply approach the blue. Purple with white 
markings, white and yellow are the predominating col- 
ors of the crocus, and these contrast finely together. 
The best purples are : 
Large Purple.—Chas. Dickens, Sir John Frank-

The following are fine marked and striped, and are 
remarkable for the size of their flowers. 
General Garibaldi.—White, striped with pe 
La Majesteuse.—Large, violet-striped, on a deli-

Ne Plus Ultra.—Blue, with white border. 
Lady Stanhope.—Violet, light border. 
Pride of Albion.—Very large and fine, white, 
wiped with lilac. 
Sir Walter Scott.—Finely striped, purple and

Prince of Wales.—Violet and white. 
The Crocus for the Window Garden.—The 
Crocus does admirably as a pot plant, but to insure suc- 
cess the corms should be planted, five or six in a five- 
inch pot, as soon as they can be obtained in autumn. 
Plunge the pots in coal ashes outside until they are filled 
with roots, which will be by the first of December, when 
they may be brought into the house, gradually bringing 
them to the light, but at no time giving them heat. 
Full light and a temperature not above 50°, will bring 
them into flower, each bulb giving several blooms. High 
temperature will surely blast the flowers. 
Autumn Flowering Crocus. —These are rarely 
seen in cultivation, from the fact of their coming into
