PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— BULBS. 



CrOCUS is one o£ 

 earliest flowers of 

 Spring, and occupies a 

 prominent place in every gar- 

 den. When planted as an edg- 

 ing in triple lines of one or 

 more colors, the effect is strik- 

 ing. No Spring display surpasses that of Crocus, the 

 broad wavy bands of golden-yellow, striped, purple, or of 

 pure white, when they expand their blossoms in February 

 and March is incomparable. In lawns and pleasure parks, 

 planted in the grass, the Crocus is extremely effective. 

 For several years past, Crocus, Snowdrops, Daffodils, etc., 

 have been planted in our parks, and lawns, in wild places, 

 woodland walks, etc. to the great delight of visitors, and the 

 enhanced decoration of the parks. In one of the parks, 

 about 50,000 Golden-yellow Crocuses were used to edge 

 off beds cut in the grass, and the gorgeous effect 

 produced was matchless. On another occasion, 20,020 purple, white, and striped Crocuses were planted in alternate lines with Early Tulips, and the effect 

 was equally beautiful. (See cut,)
