CROCUSES. 
The Crocus is one of the earliest flowers of Spring, and occupies a deservedly prominent place iu 
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-yeilow, 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. In wild gardens, woodland walks, etc., the Crocus should be associated 
with the violet, the primrose, and the oxlip. 
For outdoors plant as shal low as possible, barely covering the bulb ; many amateurs plant too deeply. 
which is often the cause of Crocuses failing to bloom. Early plantings give the best results. 
BARR’S CHEAP SHOWY CROCUSES for Larg;e 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.

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 btilbs should be planted an inch apart. When grown in pots, plant thickly, and plunge the pots in 
ashes up to the rims only. 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 Fibre and Shell Mixture, or Pebbles and v/ater (the bulbs touching one 
another), and this may be accomplished in an ordinary sitting-room.
