LARGE-FLOWERED AND BEAUTIFUL SPECIES OF CROCUS. 
CROCUSES. 
The Crocus is one of the earliest flowers of Spring, and occupies a prominent place in every garden. 
Planted as an edging in triple lines of one or more colours, the effect is striking. No Spring display sur- 
passes that of broad wavy bands of golden-yellow, striped, purple, or of pure white Crocuses, when they ex- 
pand their blossoms in February and March. In lawns and pleasure parks, planted in the grass, the Crocuses are 
extremely effective. For several years past in “ Rotten Row," and other of the Royal Parks, Crocuses, Snow- 
drops, Daffodils, &c., have been planted in the grass, to the great delight of visitors, and the enhanced 
decoration of the parks. In wild gardens, woodland walks, etc., the Crocus should be associated with the 
violet, the primrose, and the oxlip.

J8®” The few species quoted belcnv are those we can offer cheap by the 100. Our Mr. Peter Barr describes the 
beauty of Crocus Cartwrightianus on the mountains of Spain as a grand sight, “ the melting snow revealing a 
sheet of blossoms, white to purple , which, when seen fully open in the noonday sun, was as extremely fascinating." 
The same remark may be made of all other Crocuses.
