Spring Flowering CROCUS 
Outdoors: Crocus will grow in many places—in the lawn, 
flower borders, rock gardens, edge of shrubs, on the slopes of ter- 
races, in sun or shade, and even under trees, For showy effect, plant 
bulbs 3 to 4 in. apart, 2 in. deep. To avoid formal arrangements 
_when planting in the lawn, scatter the bulbs and plant them where 
they fall. In borders, double rows 6 in. apart with the bulbs spaced 
3 in. apart in each row are very showy; such ribbon arrangements 
are most striking. Do not plant in heavy, wet soil. 
_ Indoors: Plant 8 to 10 bulbs 1 in. deep, 2 in. apart, in a 6-in. container using 
light ‘sandy soil to which bone meal has been added; water well and set in a cool 
cellar for about 6 weeks so that bulbs will become well rooted. When top growth 
has begun, bring them to the light. Keep ina cool location.
