Crocus Species 
SPRING FLOWERING 
Besides the Dutch Crocuses there are certain 
species that blossom very much earlier in the 
year, often before the snow has gone. The flow¬ 
ers of these wild sorts are smaller than those of 
the Dutch kinds, but they are as vigorous and 
free as the others. Given a sunny position in the 
rock garden, or a sheltered position in grass 
where the sun may encourage them freely, they 
will surprise you by their hardy appearance in 
the face of cold and storms.

as the new hybrids in beautiful shades are be¬ 
coming known. Their culture is the simplest.

climates may be grown in the green house, as they
