BULBOCODIUM. 



619 Vemum, best known as the Red Crocus ; blooms about a fortnight before the ordinary Crocus, 

 and, like it, may be cultivated in-doors. Ptirple red . . per 100, 10^. 6d. . . per doz. Is. Gd. 



SNOWDROP. 



The effect of the Sno-wdrop is very greatly enhanced by planting thickly either in lines three to six 

 bulbs deep, or in large masses, in situations where they can remain undisturbed for years ; the beet 

 positions being close to the edges of beds, flower and shrubbery borders, and on grass lawns. In the 

 latter place they can be planted by simply making holes in the turf five inches deep with a dibber, 

 dropping in two inches of fresh soil, then three bulbs, and filling up with soil, keeping the holes about 

 thi-ee inches apart. Thej- may also be planted in lines, figiu-es, or any other way which fancy may 

 dictate ; but to be at all effective for the first few years after planting, the bulbs must be put in thickly, 

 and to this the price can be no impediment.
