The garden varieties of Crocus are so exceedingly
numerous, and their increase from seed
every year is so great, that anything like a list
for reference could not be supplied in a botanical
catalogue. The names and descriptions of
these can be better obtained from the bulb lists
of nin-serymen, which are published annually.
