CROCUSES. 
The Crocus is one of the earliest flowers of Spring, and occupies a deservedly prominent place in 
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 extremely effective. I11 wild gardens, woodland walks, etc., the Crocus should be associated 
with the violet, the primrose, and the oxlip. 
For outdoors plant as shallow as po ssible , barely covering the bulb ; many amateurs plant too deeply, 
which is often the cause of failure in their blooming. Early plantings give the best results. 
BARR’S CHEAP SHOWY CROCUSES -for Large Plantings. 
For a gorgeous effect in early Spring nothing can equal the Golden-Yellow Crocus, large masses of 
which attract the eye at a great distance. The value of the larger sized bulbs of Yellow Crocuses is 
that they produce more flowers to a bulb, and are therefore more decorative.
