All lovers of a garden are familiar with the brilliant display 

 which can be obtained from Crocuses in the opening days of spring. 

 The planting may be in groups or lines of distinct color, but in 

 every instance a massive effect should be aimed at. It only frit- 

 ters away the bulbs to plant singly or in small numbers, and they 

 are so cheap as to justify their lavish employment.
