57S. Turlan Ranuncidus. ^These are somewhat hardier, and even more 

 showy, than the other varieties ; they are not yet very numerous. The fol- 

 lowing half-dozen are very beautiful : it would be difficult to imagine any- 

 thing more gorgeous than a bed of scarlet Turbans in flower.

579. Anemones. — These are harder than the ranunculuses, have a richer 

 foliage, and their flowers resemble miniature semi-double hollyhocks. They 

 also include most of the colours of the hollyhock, except a pure white or yellow ; 

 and to compensate for the want of these, nothing can exceed in loveliness the 

 blue, or in glory the scarlet, of the anemone. And althotigh, as far as I am 

 aware, there is neither a white nor a yellow self {the single ichite is not white), 

 yet several of them are beautifully striped with these colours. They may be 

 planted from October to the end of !March, and a succession of bloom thus 

 secured, in mild seasons, from Februaiy uutil July. A poor calcareous dry 

 soil seems to suit them best, but they will flower well in almost any commori 

 garden soil. I hope to furnish a list of sorts, and give an epitome of their 

 culture, in October or November. Those who wish to plant them at once may 

 procure 100 named varieties for 255. ; ditto, mixed, 6s. ; ditto, scarlet, 10s., 

 from any large nurser}'man. They should be planted in the same manner and 

 about the same depth as ranunculuses, from 8 to 10 inches apai't. 



580. Auriculas, Carnations, and other florists' flowers in frames, must be 

 carefully attended to during the month. During dull weather, the lights should 

 be tilted up, either at the sides or the top, in preference to pushing them down 

 or drawing them up. This mode of ventilation will prevent the fog or mois- 

 ture in the air from being deposited on the leaves, a point of the first import- 

 ance during damp or frosty weather. Never water unless absolutely necessary, 

 and then do it thoroughly, taking care to keep the leaves diy, and not allow a 

 drop to lall on the crowns of the plants. During mild weather, too much air
