of Spring.” 
PRR RNS RRR NNN OR 
HE CROCUS is one of the earliest flowers of spring, 
and occupies a prominent place in every garden. 
When planted as an edging in triple lines of one 
or more colors, the effect is striking. No spring display 
surpasses that of Crocus; the broad wavy bands of golden- \ SN wy ; di “ 
ellow, striped, purple, or of pure white, when a li WS W/V OW XZ 
tray expand their blossoms in February and A Wetseenlt(/ii\ W\///) PRS N fl ys Ob 
March, are incomparable. In lawns and pleasure Ki i \ 
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 
past 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 the grass, and 
the effect was matchless.
