REER’S GIANT NAMED CROCUS. 



CROCUS. 
This brilliant and universally admired spring flower 
will thrive in any soil or situation, but to be brought to 
the highest perfection it should be grown in an open 
bed or border of deep, rich, sandy loam. When planted 
in large groups or lines of distinct colors, the effect is 
very striking, and the bulbs are now offered so cheap as 
to justify their liberal use. They are invaluable for pot 
culture. To secure a succession of blooms commence 
planting early in October, 6 or § bulbs in a pot (the 
named varieties are best for this purpose), using rich 
soil and planting about an inch deep. Place the pots 
on a surface of ashes, cover the top one inch deep with 
soil, until the leaves appear, when they may be 1e- 
moved to the house. They can also be grown in 
saucers or bowls, in water and pebbles, in the same way 
as the Chinese Sacred Lily. 
These are large bulbs of the best va- 
rieties, and are remarkable for richness 
of color and size of their flowers. and are 
the best to use for pot culture or where 
extra fine results are wanted.
