THE CROCUS,

den, is a universal favorite, being neat, dwarf, and 
compact in growth, and varied in all the essential

flowering plants. 
The princi- 
pal adaptation of this bulb consists in its suitability 
for planting sufficiently near to the margin or edge 
of flower borders, beds, ete., so as not to require 
removal, or in forming lines or edges entirely of 
such, in their relative colors, which, after blooming, 
may be removed as the leaves show maturity of 
growth by fading in color, (the bulbs being stored 
away dry and cool until the following autumn,) and 
the same spaces being again occupied by summer 
The principal months for planting, are October, ; 
November and December, in ordinary rich garden soil, placing the bulbs about two inches deep, 
and four to six inches from the margin or edge, each group of six to eight or more bulbs being 
planted in its own relative color, or otherwise in blended varieties, as taste may prefer. 
all improve in beauty for some years if not disturbed. 
To secure a succession of blooms in pots, commence early in the first named month with six 
or eight bulbs in each well drained pot, using the same rich soil about an inch deep, and, thus 
planted, place the pots on a surface of ashes, covering them over one inch deep with soil, tan, 
dry leaf mould, or sand, until the leaves appear through the soil, when they may be removed to 
the house,
