CROCUS— ( Crocus Vermis.) 



Culture of the Crocus in the open ground. 

 Choose a deep, light, rich soil, in an open situation ; plant the bulbs in October, 

 November or December, two or three inches deep, and about two inches apart, cov- 

 ering them with the fine mould. The Crocus, used for edging: beds or borders, or 

 planted in lines along the edges of walks, or in clumps, has a beautiful effect during 

 the early spring, if the colors are tastefully arranged. 

 » 



Culture of the Crocus in pots, ornamental vases, wire baskets, <(Y. 



Commence planting about the middle of October, in fine sandy soil. For pots or 

 vases, a few may be planted every three weeks, for a succession. In planting in 

 wire baskets, procure some green moss, with which line the inside of the basket, to 

 prevent the mould going through ; fill up with the soil recommended, and plant the 

 bulbs on the top, two inches apart, half covering them ; then place moss between the 

 bulbs to give the surface a beautiful green appearance. When they begin to show 

 flower, a liberal supply of water will be required. 



Crocusses may be grown in glasses, with the same treatment as the Hyacinth.
