CHOICE AND IIARE SPECIES OF CROCUS. 
Autumn, Winter, and Spring-Flowering. 
These beautiful Crocus, many of which are rare species, will be very acceptable to cultivators of hardy 
flowers, 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. The first to flower in September is C. nudiflorus, with large violet- 
purple blossoms, followed by Speciosus, “the Blue Crocus,” and the beautiful soft rosc-hlac flowers of C. 
longiflorus, the charming C. Iridiflorus, the lovely C. pulchellus, the exquisite C. zonatus, the beautiful 
C. mediua, 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, if grown in pots, or in frames, or on rock- 
work, than in the flower border, where they are frequently damaged by heavy rains. We recommend the noble
