Ranumeulus bulbosus. Narurar Orver: Ranunculacee—Crowfoot Family. 
Woleit ULBOUS RANUNCULUS, or Crowfoot, is generally found 
in pasture lands. The root is fleshy, and the flowers are of 
a golden yellow. Some varieties are cultivated in our gar- 
dens, among which are the Asiatic and Persian, sporting 
through nearly every conceivable hue. “A good Ranunculus 
I should have a stem eight or twelve inches high, flower not 
{ less than two inches, in diameter, either of one color or variously 
A ~ diversified.” Its name is the diminutive form of the Latin appellation 
rana, signifying a frog, from the aquatic habits of some of the species. 
It blooms in May and June.

E that’s ungrateful has no guilt but one; 
All other crimes may pass for virtues in him.
