RANUNCULUS ASIATICUS 
IMPROVED PALESTINE STRAIN (RAGIONIERI) 
A remarkable creation of the talented horticulturist, Dr. Attilio Ragionieri, to 
whom we are already so much indebted for the beautiful Florentine Ranunculus which 
we introduced three years ago. The race we here present originated from a wild large- 
flowered single sort of a fiery red color, found on the plains of Palestine. In culti- 
vation, however, it showed a tendency to become double and after some fifteen years 
of intensive selection a strain has now been evolved bearing large semi-double, double 
and extra-double flowers and with a wider range of more brilliant colors than in any 
existing type. They often show towards the center colors differing from that of the 
rest of the corolla, markings for instance of yellow or of pale green, adding to the 
kaleidoscopic charm of the mixture, in which the reds and the yellows are especially 
vivid and striking. The plants being very robust and extremely floriferous, we have 
no doubt as to the future of this excellent new strain of Ranunculus. Award of Merit,
