A few wild species are found at the snowline at high altitudes as harbingers of Spring in Alpine meadows. It is possible for a gardener to maintain a continuous show of crocus from late summer to late spring by careful selection of types which adapt well to Pacific coast conditions. Although the familiar large Spring crocus can be grown to ‘good effect in turf the smaller, bunch flowering winter. species are most attractive used as pools of colour in rockgarden bays and terraces where their fine grassy foliage can be hidden by. shrubs. A tremendous. range of colours will be found ranging from the clear azure blue of the Seiberi ‘family, the glistening purple of the Tomisinianus group to dozens of Chrysanthus variants which range. throigh every shade of blue, bronzeand gold. Many have fascinating: feathering of a contrasting hue on the outer petals and brilliant stigmata set against softly shaded throats. - The flowersare smal] and very profuse, appearing in succession over a period of weeks.

There are those who claim to detect an illusive fragrance from the blossoms when they are brought into a warm room. Used in shallow bowls as a dinner table decoration the flowers will open wide and last up to 48 hours. EASY TO GROW The crocus. is an easy and satisfying plant to grow as it is not subject to disease and multiplies rapidly under favourable conditions. The Autumn. blooming crocuses should be planted by mid- summer, if possible, and all other varieties prefer to be in- the ground by the middle of Sep- tember. Only a few increase by seeding as well as division of the corms: notably the Tomisinianus varieties from Dalmatia and the Versicolor crocus, or ‘‘cloth. of silver’. from ,Southern France. Once planted these little flowers _will appear in unexpected places in meadow and woodland long after the original gardener has. ’ vanished. The true potential of the genus crocus, in all it’s seasons and variety, has been little explored in this country. It only asks a sunny location, good drainage and light soil to pay delightful dividends to the most slender FOR HOME HANDYMAN purse.” CHILDREN.

Rasy-to- “follow plans for playhouse construction are availalbe. . shingles..Never have two joints in line if separated | by only one row..| A child-tested playhouse designed by Vancouver architect Al Parker for his’ own. two children, has proven so popular that it has been reproduced in easy-to-follow plans for the home handyman. The playhouse uses only five sheets of plywood. It’s 80 inches high, with standing headroom of 48 inches. There's lots of nooks and crannies to explore, plus interesting cut-out windows for a child's view of. things. The plan gives. a complete list of materials, cutting diagram, and. step-by-step instructions, - And fir plywood is easy to work with and finish. To give. your children a real sense of personal property, finish the house with Western Red Cedar. shingles or handsplit shakes. Nothing creates a homier atmosphere than a Western Red Cedar exterior. It will look as substantial as a real ‘‘grown- up’s"' house, and last. as long too. Shingles and shakes are easy to apply. Use only two nails per shingle, spaced 34" in from each edge, no matter how. wide. the shingie.
