CROCUS. 
, Cr °? us 1! i onc ° f bora’s first heralds of Spring, and for the flower garden it is indispensable. When 
rofn.i^hlenderi CC the e ff aS a " !°-, beds ' “ *° form broad marginal lines in distinct colours, or in various 
colours blended, the effect is remarkably striking. We have seen long, broad, wavy bands of golden yellow, of 
t ' rocus ’ als ° ( anc / devices of these, and groups and masses of io to 1,000 bulbs, 
expand with such effect in the sun as to elicit tile greatest admiration. In lawns and pleasure parks where the

introduced with remarkably fine effect ; while in wildernesses and woodland walks they are universal favourites as 
associates of the sweet-scented violet, the primrose, and the oxlip

, , , . es ? are offered by the thousand at moderate prices that they may be planted extensively as 'edgings to 
beds, in shrubbery borders, woodland walks, wild gardens, lawns, pleasure parks, etc. To one customer we last 
Autumn supplied nearly 50,000 Yellow Crocus to edge off beds cut in the grass, and such was the grand effect 
produced, that he informed us it was his intention, as opportunity occurred, to edge off the whole of his beds in 
a similar manner. The beauty of such masses, expanding beneath the mid-day sun in February or March, is 
such that the brush of the artist would fail to convey the effect. 1

CHOICE NAMED DUTCH CROCUS. 
7 Th 7 e , splendid large-flowered varieties, with their rich, beautiful, varied, and distinct colours are 
admirably adapted for edgings to select beds, and for carrying out specific and fancy designs. Purples can be 
had in various hues, whites as pure as the snowflake, and yellows as bright as burnished gold ; while in variegates 
Sir Walter Scott stands out prominently with its grand flowers almost as large as Tulips. These named varieties 
arc the best Crocus for pot culture, and when used for this purpose, they should be planted thickly together, 
grown in an airy situation, and have abundance of water.
