BARR’S CHOICE NAMED LARGE-FLOWERED CROCUSES. 
Large Bulbs -for Pot-Culture and Flower Beds, etc. 
The following large -flowered named Crocuses are the best in cultivation, and we can confidently 
recommend them for planting in groups, edgings, select beds, and in designs. To obtain the finest effect 
the bulbs should be planted an inch apart. When grown in pots, plant thickly, and plunge pots in 
ashes only up to the rims. When removed from under the ashes, place in an airy situation, and give water 
very freely at the roots. A charming effect is obtained by growing Crocuses in shallow saucers, 
using Barr’s Fertilised Cocoa Fibre Mixture, or Pebbles and water (the bulbs touching one another), 
and this may be accomplished in an ordinary sitting-room.

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. longiflorus, C. sativus, C. Tommasinianus, 
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.
