Abstract
“P.B.M.,” in NATURE for April 1, refers to the destruction of the crocuses in a garden at Burton on-Trent, by birds. This may also be observed in the flower-beds in Hyde Park, near Park Lane. It is remarkable, however, that while the yellow flowers are very extensively destroyed, the white ones remain uninjured. The reason for this is not very evident, and I should be glad to see it explained.
