1. Crocusnoun

   The best place to plant the Spring crocus’s is close to a wall, or on the edge of boarded borders round a garden, mingling the colour of those of a season together. The seed must be kept in the husk ’till sown, and a light rich ground should be chosen for them. They must not be placed too thick: they may be increased also by off-sets. John Mortimer Husbandry.

   Throws out the snow-drop and the crocus first. James Thomson.
