CROCUS 
This is one of the most beautiful ot our common early blooming spring flowers. Although well known and a 
general favourite, it is seldom we find it planted to the extent its easy culture and great eftect entitle it to. 
Plant during September, October, and November, 3 inches deep and 2 inches apart, in lines, clumps, or masses.

Those who have not seen the Autumn Meadow Saffrons in bloom w'ould hardly conceive how beautiful they are. In Septemb^, 
October, and November, just as the summer flowers are dying off, they throw up their masses of Crocus-like flowers, covering the 
ground with a sheet of blossom, and as the leaves do not appear till spring, at a little distance the effect is peculiar, there being 
nothing but colour.

Closey allied to Scilla Siberica, which in habit it resembles, the blooms being somewhat larger. The pure white centre merging into 
intense blue at lip.s of petals make a conspicuously eflective border plant, and it is also suitable for pot culture. Per doz. — s. d.

SNOWDROPS 
The Snowdrop comes into bloom in the borders in February, and with the shelter of a cold frame 
will bloom before the new year is far advanced. Plant in clumps, the bulbs almost touching one 
another, and leave undisturbed for years. Nothing is more charming than clumps of these 
planted in the lawn.
