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 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 arc 
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 th® 
violet, the primrose, and the oxlip. 
CHEAP DUTCH CR 0 CU 5 ES, for Large Plantings. 
To encourage extensive planting in shrubberies, woodlands, wild gardens, in grass, on lawns, pleasure parks, 
etc., Crocuses are quoted cheaply by the thousand. For a gorgeous effect in early spring nothing can equal 
the Golden Yellow Crocus, large masses of which attract the eye at a great distance.

CHOICE NAMED LARGE-FLOWERED DUTCH CROCUSES. Large Roots. 
The following large-flowered named Crocuses are recommended for planting in groups, edgings, select beds, 
and in designs. There are purples and blues of shades, pure whites, rich yellow, light and dark striped sorts, &c. 
When the Crocus is grown in pots, plant thickly, and treat as recommended for the cultivation of the Hyacinth, 
on page 7. When removed from under the ashes, place in an airv 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.
