CHOICE SPECIES OF CROCUS, AUTUMN, WINTER. AND SPRING-FLOWERING. 
The Crocus enumerated under this heading are beautiful, and many of them are rare species which to 
the cultivators of hardy flowers will be very acceptable, especially those that flower in Autumn and Winter, 
■forming as they do. a connecting link between the bulbous plants of Summer and those of Spring. In our 
Experimental Grounds we have one or other of these Crocus in bloom from September to April. I he first to 
flower in September is C. nudiflorus, with large violet-purple blossoms, followed by Speeiosus, ' ' the Blue Crocus, 
and the beautiful soft rose-lilac flowers of C. longiflorus, the charming C. Iridlflorus, the lovely C. pulchellus 
the exquisite C. zonatus, the beautiful C. medlus and the characteristic C. Imperati, etc. These Crocus are all 
perfectly hardy, but those which flower in November, December, and January, will be more enjoyed, it grown 
in pots, or in frames, or on rockwork, than in the flower border, where they are frequently damaged by heavy 
rains. We recommend the noble “ Monograph of the Genus Crocus, by George Maw , Esq.
