CROCUSES. 
The Crocus is one of the earliest flowers of Spring, and occupies a deservedly prominent place in 
every garden. Planted as an edging in triple lines of one or more colours, the effect is striking. No Spring 
display surpasses that of broad wavy bands of golden-yellow, striped, purple, or pure white Crocuses 
when they expand 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 Hyde Park, Regent's Park, 
and other of the London Parks, Crocuses, Snowdrops, Daffodils, &c., have been planted in the grass’ 
to the great delight of visitors. In wild gardens, woodland walks, See., the Crocus should be associated 
with the violet, the primrose, and the oxlip. 
When planting Crocuses outdoors plant as shallow as possible, barely covering the bulla ; many amateurs 
plant too deeply, which is generally the cause of any failure in their blooming. 
BARR’S CHEAP SHOWY CROCUSES for Large Plantings. 
To encourage extensive planting in shrubberies, woodlands, wild gardens, in grass, on lawns, pleasure 
parks, & c., these Crocuses are quoted cheaply by the thousand. For a gorgeous effect in early Spring 
nothing can equal the Golden Yellow CrOGUS, large masses of which attract the eye at a great distance.

BARR’S CHOICE NAMED LARGE-FLOWERED CROCUSES. 
Large Roots for Pot-Culture and Flower Beds, &c. 
The following large-flowered named Crocuses are recommended for planting in groups, 
edgings, select beds, and in designs. To obtain the finest effect the bulbs should be planted half an inch 
apart. When grown in pots, plant thickly, and plunge pots in ashes only up to the rims. When 
removed from under the ashes, place in an airy situation, and give water very freely at the roots. A 
charming effect is obtained by growing Crocuses in shallow Saucers Of Water (the bulbs touching 
one another), and this may be accomplished in an ordinary sitting-room.
