~~ HOME & GARDEN Plant your fall-bliooming crocus in Same way as spring varieties

From page 15 . groupings six inches apart and three to four inches deep.

Water during drier periods of the growing season and feed with bonemea! in the fall.

You must not remove the leaves of this plant until they have com- pletely died back.

As the leaves take a long time to mature, a fore-planting of an early annual such as pansies will screen the unsightly leaves until the flowers appear, at which time the pansies are generally past their prime.

The true autumn crocus is available in many forms. Crocus speciousus is very easy tO grow and has mauve, striped flowers appearing in October.

’ The hybrid c. ‘‘Albus’’ is pure white, while c. “Conqueror” is a deep sky blue and c. ‘‘Globosus’’

is a fragrant biue-violet.

C. Kotschyanus or ¢. zonatus flower lilac-pink in September/ October and c. pulchellus is lav- ender with a bright yellow throat.

The honor of being the best- known and yet the least-known crocus probably falls to c. sativus. I'm sure you have all heard of saffron; well, this is the plant from which it comes.

The orange, thread-like stigmas in the centre of the flower are col- lected and sold from its native en- vironment in Spain.

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

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

Space the corms out about two

to three inches 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.

Another bulbous plant to con- sider here is sternbergia lutea, whose yellow flowers also appear in the fall and look remarkably like the crocus, although some- what larger in size.

Well, I hope I have created at least a little enthusiasm for these plants. Even though trips to the garden centre are becoming less frequent 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’: given up trying to sell them.
