TROLLIITS, L. GLOBE FLOWER. 

 (Ranunculacece.) 



The globe flowers while, perhaps, no more desirable than other plants to which no 

 especial attention is drawn in this bulletin, are referred to here because they are not 

 as well known in Canadian gardens as they should be. Spring flowers are most appre- 

 ciated in the gardens, and among plants which bloom in the spring the globe flowers 

 are among the most desirable. They are closely related to the buttercup, and if one 

 can imagine a buttercup several times as large as the common species with incurved 

 petals and, in some cases, semi-double, a good idea of the globe flowers will be obtained. 

 They delight in rich moist soil, and this should be given them to obtain the best results, 

 although they do well in the average border soil.
