Autumn Flowering Crocus and Colchicums. 
MEADOW SAFFRON. 
Very effective hardy bulbous plants which bear their large flowers in the 
autumn—and most of them without foliage, the latter appearing the succeeding 
spring. For this reason they appear to best advantage when nestling in the 
@rass especially on terrace or hillside. In congenial locations they thrive, in- 
crease and flower year after year. The difference between Colchicums and 
Crocus is only botanical, their flowers appearing similar to casual observers.

SEIN EO EnING CROCUS. 
The Crocus*i is one of the earliest flowers of spring and occupies a promi- 
nent 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; planted in large groups oi golden-yellow, striped, purple, or ot 
pure white. In lawns planted in tie grass, the Crocus is extrer. ely ef- 
fective. They areeasily planted indiscriminately in the turf with the aid ofa 
dibber—after fall rains have made the sod moist. The flowers and fo- 
liage are gone before the lawn needs mowing, so they do not interfere with 
the summer beauty of the lawn. 
The large-flowering named varieties are ornamental when  flow- 
ered in pots. Six or eight roots should be planted in a pot of about 
five inches diameter. They will not flower if exposed to heat, nor must 
severe forcing be attempted. Crocuses are often grown in fancy designs, 
such as bee-hives, hedge-hog pots, columns, etc., made for the purpose (see 
page 60), and are curious and attractive when so grown
