FLOWERING BULBS, PLANTS, ETC. 



17 





RANUNCULUS. 



A garden or greenhouse plant, also 



suitable for house culture. It is not 



quite hardy enough to bear planting in 



the garden in the fall, but 



as the bulbs can be kept in 



a dry state until spring, 



they may then be planted 



and will produce an abund- 

 ance of flowers. Give them 



a rather shady place in the 



garden. 



French — Large double flow- 

 ers, very showy, mixed. 



Persian — Double rose 

 shaped, mixed. 



Turban — Peony formed, 

 mixed.

SNOWDROPS. 



The little 

 nodding flow- 

 ers of this well 

 known plant 

 are generally 

 the first to ap- 

 pear in spring, 

 often rearing 

 their delicate 

 heads above a 

 light covering 

 of snow in ear- 

 ly March. They 

 are suitable for 

 pot culture, but 

 are most ef- 

 fective when 

 planted in 

 clumps on the 

 lawn. Plant in 

 September or October. Any good gar- 

 den soil will suit them. They require 

 no protection, being quite hardy.
