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 , barel y

is often the cause of Crocuses failing to b loo m. Early 
plantings give the best results.
