CROCUS
"The.
Harbing
of Spring
THE CROCUS is one of the earliest flowers of spring,
aud occupies a piominent place in everj' garden.
Wlien planted as an edging in triple lines of one
or more colors, tlie effect is striking. No spring display
surpasses that of Crocus ; the broad wavy bands of golden-
yellow, striped, pui"p)e, or of pure white, when
they expand their blussjonis in February and
March, are incomparable. In lawns and pleasure
parks, planted in the grass, the Crocus is ex-
tremely effective. They are easily planted indis-
criminately in the turf with the aid of a dibber —
after fall rains have made
the sod moist. The flowers
and foliage are gone before
the lawn needs mowing, so
they do not interfere with
the summer beauty of the
lawn. For several years
pa.^t Crocus, Snowdrops,
Daffodils, etc., have been
planted in our parks and
lawns, in wild places, wood-
land walks, etc., to the
great delight of visitors
and enhanced decoration of
the parks. In one of the
parks thousands of Crocus
were used in tlie grass, and
the effect was matchless.
