CROCUS. 
CROCUS. 
The Crocus is one of the earliest and prettiest spring 
flowering bulbs. It thrives in almost any garden, but does 
best in a light, rich, damp soil. They should be planted 
in September and October, about three inches deep and 
two inches apart. No plant is better adapted for clumps, 
lines, masses, and beds. By judicious planting, the most 
striking effects can be produced. Each color should be in 
a line or row by itself, and the colors on either side should 
be such as will contrast strongly with it. The clumps 
should consist of six, twelve, or twenty, and the beds from 
one to five hundred or more bulbs. For borders and edg¬ 
ings, the Crocus is also well suited. They maybe planted 
either in rows or clumps. If allowed to remain in the 
ground for several years, large masses of flowers will be 
formed. As soon as the winter sets in, the beds should 
be covered with leaves, branches of evergreens, etc. For 
house culture, in pots, glasses, vases,.bowls, wire, etc., the 
same treatment should be observed as that recommended 
for Hyacinths. For this purpose strong bulbs of the 
named varieties should be selected.
