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.
