CROCUS IN BOWX. 
CROCUSES. 
The Crocus is one of the earliest flowers of Spring, 
and occupies a deservedly prominent place in eveiy 
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 while Crocuses when they expand 
their blossoms, in February and March. In lawns and 
pleasure parks, planted in the grass. Crocuses are ex- 
tremely elTective. In wild gardens, woodland walks, 
etc., the Crocus should he associated with the violet, tlie 
primrose, and the oxlip. llic larger size bulbs are 
beautiful in bowls and vases for indoor decora' ion. 
Fo r outiloors plant as shaiLw as possible, barely 
covei ing the bulb ; many amateurs plant too deeply, which 
is often the cause of Crocuses failing to bloom. Farly 
plantings give the best results.

Crocuses is that they produce more flowers.
