CROCUS. 
The Crocus is one of the earliest flowers of Spring, and occupies a prominent place in every garden. 
When planted as an edging in triple lines of one or more colours, the effect is striking. No Spring display sur- 
passes that of broad wavy bands of golden-yellow, of striped, of purple, or of pure white Crocus, when they 
expand their blossoms in February and March. In lawns and pleasure parks, planted in the grass the Crocus is 
extremely effective. For several years past in “ Rotten Row," and other parts of the Royal Parks, Crocus, 
Snowdrops, Daffodils, &c., have been planted in the grass, to the great delight of visitors, and the enhanced 
decoration of the parks. In wild gardens, woodland walks, etc., the Crocus should be associated with the 
violet, the primrose, and the oxlip. 
CHEAP DUTCH CROCUS. 
To encourage extensive planting in shrubberies, woodlands, wild gardens, in grass, on lawns, pleasure parks, 
etc., Crocus are quoted by the thousand cheaply. One season, at the lower grounds, Aston, about 50,000 
Golden- Yellow Crocus were used to edge off beds cut in the grass, and the gorgeous effect produced in February 
and March was such the skill of the artist failed to portray it. On another occasion, 20,000 purple, white, 
and striped Crocus were planted in alternate lines with Early Tulips.
