(EARLY SPRING FLOWERING) 
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 under trees. The best position 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 ad¬ 
mired. 
in pots, pans or 
bowls. Plant 8 to 
10 bulbs, 1 in. deep 
in a 6-inch container, 
water well and set in a 
cool cellar for about 6 
weeks so that bulbs will be¬ 
come well rooted. When top 
growth has begun, bring them 
to the light. Keep in a cool loca¬ 
tion in the house or conservatory.
