CROCUS. 



The Crocus is one of the earliest and prettiest spring 

 flowering bulbs. It thrives in almost any garden, but does 

 best in a light, rich, damp soil. They should be planted 

 in September and October, about three inches deep and 

 two inches apart. No plant is better adapted for clumps, 

 lines, masses, and beds. By judicious planting, the most 

 striking effects can be produced. Each color should be in 

 a line or row by itself, and the colors on either side should 

 be such as will contrast strongly with it. The clumps 

 should consist of six, twelve, or twenty, and the beds from 

 one to five hundred or more bulbs. For borders and edg- 

 ings, the Crocus is also well suited. They maybe planted 

 either in rows or clumps, if allowed to remain in the 

 ground for several years, large masses of flowers will be 

 formed. As soon as the winter sets in, the beds should 

 be covered with leaves, branches of evergreens, etc. For 

 house culture, in pots, glasses, vases, bowls, wire, etc., the 

 same treatment should be observed as that recommended 

 for Hyacinths. For this purpose strong bulbs of the 

 named varieties should be selected.

SNOWDROPS. 



The Snowdrop is the first spring flower, with pretty, drooping, snow- 

 white blossoms. The bulb is quite small, and thrives in any garden soil. 

 They should be planted two inches deep and about an inch apart, in triple 

 lines or clumps, to make an effective show. It is perfectly hardy. If 

 allowed to remain in the earth, they increase from year to year, and form 

 fine clumps. Planted on the lawn, they produce a fine effect. They are 

 also very desirable for growing in pots, etc.
