the district is a cold one they may be left to establish themselves, but during winter a light 
covering should be given. The Grocosma aurea may also be grown on as a pot plant, and

YELLOW CROCUS IN BOWL. 
CROCUSES. 
(Crop very short this season.) 
The Crocus is one of the earliest flowers of Spring, 
and occupies a deservedly prominent place iu every 
garden. Planted as an edging in triple lines of one or 
more colours, the effect is striking. No Spring display 
surpasses that of broad wavy bands of golden-yellow, 
striped, purple, or pure white Crocuses when they expand 
their blossoms, in February and March. In lawns and 
pleasure parks, planted in the grass, Crocuses are ex- 
tremely effective. In wild gardens, woodland walks, 
etc., the Crocus should be associated with the violet, the 
primrose, and the oxlip. The larger size bulbs are 
beautiful in bowls and vases for indoor decoration. 
For outdoors plant as shallow as possible, barely covering the bull) ; many amateurs plant too deeply, 
which is often the cause of Crocuses failing to bloom. Early plantings give the best results.

and Blue Crocuses, which attract the eye at a great distance. The value of the larger sized bulbs of Yellow 
Crocuses is that they produce more flowers.
