ell-preserved blend of styles

THIS 1910 home is a well-
‘ preserved ‘example of a
blend of the Edwardian and
Craftsman styles of ar-
chitecture, and is in a tradi-
tional English garden sét-
ting.

Located close to Mahon Park, it
4s one of several homes of heritage
significance in the area.

it features exposed purlin ends,
a full front veranda, and an

“interesting entry.

The orange, thread-like stigmas
in the centre of the flower are
collected and sold from its native
environment in Spain.

Although more difficult to grow
and sometimes short-lived, it is
definitely worth trying.

Plart the fall-blooming crocus
in the same manner as you would
the spring varieties; that is to say,
in sun or light shade and ina
light, porous soil.

Space the corms out about two
to three inches apart, and plant
them at the same depth.

.. ‘Group the corms in mass
displays within the flower beds or
in sweeping splashes of color in
the lawn. ‘

They can also be very attractive
peeking out or amongst the rocks
of our North Shore slopes and
rockeries. .

Well, I hope I have finally
created some enthusiasm for these
plants. :

Even though trips to the garden
centre are few and far between at
this time of the year, you will be
rewarded if you make the effort to

* find them. .

Let’s hope the garden centres
haven’t given up trying to sell
them.
