For massing in beds by themselves, for edging beds
of other bulbs, or for planting in clumps in the grass
on the lawn, these beautiful and earliest of all spring
flowering bulbs are unexcelled. We need not de-
scribe them, as everybody— even from childhood — is
familiar with them;
and all having any
love for plants ap-
preciate them. They
are always gladly
welcomed after
the long and
dreary winter
months.

Autumn Crocus.
Colchicum — A curious and interesting plant,
known as the Autumn Crocus. If planted in fall the
leaves make their appearance in spring, while it does
not come into bloom until fall, and the following sum-
mer will find it in seed. One of its peculiarities is
that it will bloom equally as well out of the ground as
in it. If placed on a shelf without soil or moisture,
its pretty pink flowers will appear just the same as if
it had been left in the ground.
