AUTUMN CATALOGUE OF BULBS, SEEDS AND GARDEN REQUISITES. 11 
CROCUS. 
One of our earliest spring flowers, bril¬ 
liant and universally admired, occupying 
a prominent place in every garden. When 
planted in large groups or lines of distinct 
colors the effect is striking. Flower beds 
and borders are made very attractive with 
j a few clumps or rows of the different col¬ 
ors. They thrive in any soil or situation, 
but to be had in the highest perfection 
they should be grown in a deep, rich, 
sandy loam, and in a sunny location. 
Plant two to three inches apart and three 
inches deep. Best results are obtained 
from early planting.
