striking. We have seen long', broad, wavy bands of golden yellow, of pnre white, and of deep purple 

 Crocus, also fancy devices of these, and groups and masses of 10 to 1,000 bulbs, expand with such effect 

 in the mid-day sun, as to elicit the greatest admu'ation. In lawns and pleasure parks, where the grass is 

 not mown very early, the Crocus and Snowdrop planti^'d in scrolls or other fancy designs are frequently 

 introduced with remarkably tine effect ; while in wildernesses and woodland walks they are miiversal 

 favourites as associates of tlie sweet-scented violet, the primrose, and the oxlip. 



The depveJations of mice on the Crocus may be prevented by placing pieces of the Crown Imperial 

 bulb near where the roots ai'e planted.

BULBOCODIUM. 



6i5 Vemum, a charming early spring flower, best known as the Red Crocus ; it blooms a fortnight 

 before the Crocus, and, like it, may be cultivated La-doors. Purple-red, per 100, 10s. Gd., per doz. Is. Gd. 



SNOWDROP. 



The effect of the Snowdrop 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 imdisturbed for years ; the best 

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

 parka they should be planted in scrolls or other fancy devices, without disturbing the tm-f, simply by 

 making holes five inches deep with a dibber, dropping in two inches of fresh soil, then three bulbs, and 

 filling up with soU, keeping the holes about three inches apart.
