Cpogus. 
Among the earliest to blossom in spring is 
this Ijeautiful little flower, lifting its head almost 
before the snow has disappeared. Blooming at 
a time when the ground is destitute of foliage or 
flower, it is a welcome visitor. The Crocus 
should be planted in autumn, in October, Novem- 
ber or December, in any good garden soil, about 
three inches deep, and two inches apart, if in 
beds or torders. As they are entirely hardy, 
they may remain undisturbed for years. 
To secure blooms in pots, commence early in ■ 
October with six or eight bulbs in each pot, 
using rich soil and planting about an inch deep. 
I'lace the iwts on a surface of ashes, cover the 
top one inch deep with soil, until the leaves 
apiiear, when they may be removed to the house.

POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS. 
(The Flower of Love.) 
This charming flower has not received its due 
share of attention, owing, doubtless, to its merits 
as a winter and spring flower not being fully 
recognized. 
As a Ladies’ flower it is taking front rank, and 
lends to beauty an additional charm. 
It can be grown in glasses as readily as the 
Hyacinth, and surpasses in beauty of form, 
delightful perfume and variety of coloring, all 
its rivals among winter flowering bulbs. For 
planting ui>on the edge of woods, among shrub- 
bery, on rockeries, or for planting in groups on 
the lawn, the Narcissus is invaluable. It will 
be found among the chief attractions of the 
spring garden. 
To obtain satishvetory results, the bulbs should 
remain undisturbed for three years at least. 
They may then be divided and reset. When 
desired for forcing, treat same as Hyacinths.
