Spring’s First Flower —The Crocus 
(FLOWERS IN MARCH) 
T>ETWEEN the melting of winter’s last snow and 
the blooming of spring’s first Tulip, a flat and 
barren landscape is an ordeal for sensitive people to 
endure. And it is quite unnecessary when Crocuses 
are available to fill in the void. It would seem almost 
foolish to deprive oneself of the joy that Crocuses 
bring. Even if one were indifferent on one’s own 
account, isn’t it selfish to refuse to add beauty to the 
world when beauty may be had at so little cost? 
Crocuses, the earliest of all spring-flowering bulbs, 
arc also the cheapest; and there is nothing else to take 
their place. If the foliage is not cut off they will last 
indefinitely. They should be used for edging tulip 
beds or any garden bed or shrub border. Scattered 
through the lawn, they will gleam like jewels against 
the verdant background. 
For best effects allow seven to nine bulbs for each 
square foot to be planted.
