CROCUSES. 
BARR’S AUTUMN-, WINTER- AND SPRING-FLOWERING SPECIES. 
No hardy garden is complete without these floral gems, which carry on a continual display of bloom 
from August to March, and light up the garden with their bright colours in winter when few other plants 
are flowering. On rockwork and in grass they form a charming picture, while in pots they make a very 
pretty effect. In nomenclature we have followed Mr. George Maw’s Monograph on the Croci. 
The delightful effect produced by masses of C. speciosus, C. longifloFus, C. satlvus, C. Toramasinianus, 
etc., when naturalised, can only be realised by those who have witnessed it. 
Cultural Directions. — Any ordinary garden soil suits these Crocuses. Plant the, bulbs as early 
as possible, and very shallow, barely covering them with soil.
