Crocus 
will grow 
in many 
places — in 
the lawn, in 
flower borders, 
in rock gardens, 
edge of shrubs, on 
the slopes of terraces, 
in sun or shade, and even 
t under trees. The best posi¬ 
tion is where they will receive 
the sun for only part of the day. 
For showy effect plant bulbs 3 to 
4 in. apart, 2 in. deep. For mass 
effect in borders set bulbs in double 
rows 6 in. apart. Such ribbon plantings 
are very pretty and greatly admired.
