striking. We have seen long, broad, wavy bands of golden yellow, of pure white, and of deep purple 
Crocus, also fancy devices of these, and groups and masses of 10 to 1,000 bulbs, expand with such effect 
in the mid-day sun, as to elicit the greatest admiration. In lawns and pleasure parks, where the grass is 
not mown very early, the Crocus and Snowdrop planted in scrolls or other fancy designs are frequently 
introduced with remarkably lino effect; while in wildernesses and woodland walks they are universal 
favourites as associates of the sweet-scented violet, the primrose, and the oxlip. 
The depredations of mice on the Crocus may be prevented by placing pieces of the Crown Imperial 
bulb near where the roots are planted.

BULBOCODIUM. 
615 Vernum, a charming early spring flower, best known as the Red Crocus; it blooms a fortnight 
before the Crocus, uud, like it, may be cultivated in-doors. Turple-red, per 100, 10s. 6 d., per doz. Is. (id. 
SNOWDROP. 
The effect of the Snowdrop is very greatly enhanced by planting thickly either in lines three to six 
bulbs deep, or in large masses, in situations where they can remain undisturbed for years ; the best 
positions being close to the edges of beds, flower and shrubbery borders. In grass lawns and pleasure 
parks they should be planted in scrolls or other fancy devices, without disturbing the turf, simply by 
making holes five inches deep with a dibber, dropping in two inches of fresh soil, then three bulbs, and 
filling up with soil, keeping the holes about three inches apart.
