Among the earliest to bloom in the spring is this beautiful little flower, lifting its head almost before the snow has disappeared. Blooming at a time when the ground is destitute of foliage or flower, it is a welcome visitor. The Crocus suc- ceeds when grown in pots, and tolerably well in glasses. The}- present the best appearance, how- ever, when grown in masses in a bed, for which large quantities should be used, say from one hun- dred to five hundred in a bed. A desirable effect is produced by setting Crocuses here and there over the lawn. It is only necessary to lift the turf and insert the bulbs two or three inches deep. They will care for themselves, blooming very early amid the grass and dying down to the bulb in ample time to be entirely out of the way of the lawn mower. Once planted, they will remain un- injured in the ground and bloom for years. The Crocus should be planted in autumn, in anj- good garden soil, about three inches deep and about two inches apart if in beds or border. As they are en- tirely hardy, they may remain undisturbed for years. Indoors the Crocus can be easily forced, planted from six to a dozen in a pot of ordinary- soil, or in small glasses, kept cool, well watered, and given plenty of fresh air. It may also be grown in water on tea plates with a little sand,, only one variety on each plate, the bulbs placed, close together. In the house they bloom a month, earlier than out CROCUS. PER DOZ.
