Harbingers of Spring 
Crocuses should be planted in quantity in natural drifts and 
masses on grassy banks, under trees, and drifting away from the 
sides of driveways, and in irregular lines and clumps in the shrub¬ 
bery, flower border, rockery, etc. Plant the bulbs 2 or 3 inches deep 
and one or more apart. If desired in the lawn, sods of different 
sizes and shapes can be lifted, place the bulbs in the space closely, 
replace the sod and pat down level with hack of spade. Blooming 
period end of March and early April.
