| The city will reap the benefit in the spring when daffodils and crocus give the city's parks and verges a splash of colour. |
| As far as planting goes, the smaller crocus should be planted so the tips of the bulb are two inches below the soil's surface. |
| They won't eat daffodils and other narcissi which are distasteful to them, but they find tulips and crocus irresistible. |
| But with autumn crocus and colchicum I extended my planting pleasure by several weeks. |
| The crocus, the cowslip and its near relation, the primrose and the other early wild flowers will soon follow. |
| The hoop petticoat narcissus, snowdrops, scillas, and crocus are perhaps the most delightful subjects for the purpose. |
