CROCUS. 
The Crocus is one of the earliest flowers to open its blossoms in Spring, and deservedly occupies a pro- 
minent place in every garden. It is as a permanent edging to beds, when planted in triple lines of one or various 
colours, that the effect is most striking. No Spring display can surpass that produced^ by broad wavy bands of 
golden-yellow, of striped, of purple, or of pure white Crocus, expanding their blossoms in February and March, 
with a brilliancy that elicits the most unbounded admiration. In lawns and pleasure parks, the Crocus planted 
in the grass are extremely effective. For several years past the grass at “ Rotten Row ” has been p anted with 
Crocus, Snowdrops, Daffodils, &c., to the delight of visitors. In wild gardens, by the sides of woodland paths, 
etc., the Crocus should be associated with the sweet-scented violet, the primrose, and the oxlip. 
CHEAP DUTCH CROCUS. 
Quoted cheaply by the thousand to induce extensive planting in shrubbery borders, woodland paths, wild 
gardens, on lawns, in pleasure parks, etc. One season there were planted at the lower grounds, Aston, about 
50.000 Golden-Yellow Crocus to edge off beds cut in the grass, and such was the gorgeous effect produced, that m 
February and March the skill of the artist failed to portray it. On another occasion, in the same garden, 
20.000 purple, white, and striped Crocus were planted in alternate lines with Early Tulips. ^

CHOICE NAMED DUTCH CROCUS. 
The following are large-flowered named Crocus, recommended for planting in groups, edgings, select beds, 
or working out specific designs. There are purples of various shades, whites as pure as a snowflake, and yellows 
of brightest hue. Amongst the light striped sorts Sir Walter Scott stands prominently out, the flowers almost 
the size of a Tulip ; and of the dark striped varieties, Pride of Albion is conspicuous. These named varieties 
are the best for pot culture. When grown in pots, plant thickly, and treat as recommended for the cultivation 
of the Hyacinth in pots, on page 7. When removed from under the ashes, place in an airy situation, and give 
water very freely. OUR OWN selections.
