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, the Crocuses are extremely effective. For several years past in the London Parks, Crocuses, 
Snowdrops, Daffodils, &c., have been planted in the grass, to the great delight of visitors. In wild gardens, 
woodland walks, &c., the Crocus should be associated with the violet, the primrose, and the oxlip. 
When planting Cro cuses outdoors plant as shallow as possible, barely covering the bulb ; many ama teurs 
plant too deeply, which is often the cause of failure in their blooming.

For a gorgeous effect in early Spring nothing can equal the Golden Yellow CrOCUS, large masses
