This brilliant and universally admired spring flower will thrive in any soil or situation, but to be brought to the highest perfection it should be grown in an open bed or border of deep, rich, sandy loam. When planted in large groups or lines of distinct colors, the effect is very striking, and the bulbs are now- offered so cheap as to justify their liberal use. They are in- valuable for pot-culture. To secure a succession of blooms commence planting early in October, 6 or 8 bulbs in a pot (the named varieties are best for this purpose), using rich soil, and planting about an inch deep. Place the pots on a surface of ashes, cover the top 1 inch deep with soil, until the leaves ap- pear, when they may be removed to the house. NAMED CROCUS. These are large bulbs of the best and most beautiful varieties-, and are remarkable for richness of color, and the immense size of their flowers. Doz. 100. looct Albion.
