Choice Crocus. 
The Crocus is the earliest and most welcome of the more important Spring-flowering bulbs, and has a charming effect during Tebruary 
and ^larch wlien forced in pots containing from five to twenty bulbs in each, or planted in tufts or groups in shrubberies or flower gardens 
among rock-work, or in the grass, and especially when planted by the thousand in large masses and long lines, ribbons, festoons, in carpet 
oi ()ther patterns. They may also be grown in shallow boxes of light, rich soil, and when in flower planted into ornamental baskets, &c. 
If planted thickly in pots, pans, window-boxes, A:c., they produce a grand effect. In beds, of one or sex’eral colours, or as edging 
for borders, lawns, and dri\'es in parks, the brilliant and varied colours — gold, blue, purple, mauve, white, striped, &c. — make a most 
beautiful and effective display. Iflant from the middle of September until the middle of October, about three or four indies deep, and
