CROCUS. 
The Crocus is one of the greatest favorites of all spring flowers, as it thrusts its graceful blossoms up so ea^ 
before the snow has entirely disappeared, like a promise of the coming warmth and sunshine. Being of a dwarf, 
compact habit of growth renders it especially suitable for planting near the margin or edge of flower borders or 
beds, and for forming lines or fancy groups in the lawn, where it does not 
require removal. Few objects could be more beautiful than a mass of Crocus 
blossoms in the yards of city houses in March, while the pavements are yet 
covered with ice. And what could be more attractive in our parlor window 
than a few pots of Crocus in full bloom. 
Culture 111 the Garden. Plant in the open ground in October or 
November, in light, rich sandy soil, three inches deep and two or three inches 
apart. They should not be disturbed, unless the bulbs become too numerous, 
as they bloom more profusely when well established. We must urge their 
more extensive use in grass plots, embankments, and terraces, as well as the 
flower garden. In either and all of these places, they never fail to give a 
cheerful effect and decorative appearance. But they should not be planted 
sparingly; it is only in masses that they become effective and beautiful. 
Culture iu Pots, Vases, and Baskets. For pot culture use good rich 
sandy soil, and secure perfect drainage, a liberal supply of water being neces¬ 
sary during the blooming season. Plant six or eight bulbs in each pot, cover 
an inch deep, then set in a cool dark place, where they are to remain till the 
leaves appear, when they may be removed to the window. For a succession, plant every two weeks, and manage in 
the same manner. 
Fancy saucers, pots, vases or baskets may be filled with sand or fine moss, the bulbs planted and placed in the 
dark for a few weeks, when they will begin to grow, and should be brought to the light, and watered, applying it 
more freely as the growth and bloom advance.
