CROCUS. 
Culture of the Crocus in Flower Borders or Beds. 
Plant in the open ground, in O<’tober, November and December, preferring 
deep, light, rich, sandy soil ; but the crocus will thrive in any ordinary s<)il or 
situation. In jdanting, the bulbs should be covered from two to three inches 
with fine mould, and not more than two inches apart. For edging lx)rders and 
beds, the cro<!us is also exceedingly useful ; and where planted in lines along 
the margin of walks, or in clumps of 3, 6, 12 or more bulbs each, and allowed 
to remain in the ground for several years, the eflTect of the immense masses of 
flowers which they produce is all that can be desired. A very effective display 
in a flower garden in March may be produced by each bed having a broad 
edging of crocus, the colors being nicely arranged and contrasted. This may 
be secured without interfering Avith either the s]>ring or summer occupants ; 
for the bulbs may be planted close to the outside of the bed, where they will 
scarcely be in the way, either in digging or in planting. Unless the bulbs 
become too numerous, and the leaves spread over more space than it may be 
desirable to have covered Avith them, they should not be disturbed, as they 
bloom more profusely AA'hen Avell e.stablished. 
Culture of the Crocus in Pots, Vases, Baskets, &c. 
For blooming in-doors, either in pots or in any of the A’arious contriA-ances 
that are used instead of pots ; strong bulbs of the seedling varieties should be 
selected, planting them in succession, commencing about the middle of October. 
For pot-culture, let the bulbs be only half covered with mould, use good rich, 
sandy soil, and secure perfect drainage, a liberal supply of Avater being neces- 
sary during the blooming season ; therefore any defect in the drainage Avould 
cause the soil to become sodden. Planletl in Excelsior vases, china bowls.
