THE RANUNCULUS. 



A truly elegant and beautiful flower, combining with the most divei-sified shades and colours, an exquisite 

 symmetry and compactness possessed by few plants. As a cut flower it is quite as useful as the Rose, 

 whOe for bedding, massing, and edging, either in separate or mixed colours, the effect produced is mag- 

 nificent ; its close habit of growth and rich distinct colours make it all that the most refined taste could 

 desire for ribboning or any other style of gardening. 



Culture. — For successional blooming, plant the Turban varieties from October to Januar\^ and the 

 Persian from January to March. The Ranunculus succeeds best in a somewhat moist soO, but any soU, 

 properly prepared, will grow it to perfection. Plant on a dry day, when the soil works kindly ; draw drills 

 two inches deep and five or six inches apart, sprinkhng a httle sand at the bottom of the drill. The tubers 

 should be firmly pressed into the soil, ^\•ith the claws downwards, and covered mth sand, then Avith soil, 

 keeping the crown two mclies under the surface ; dming severe weather, cover the bed with dry litter, 

 leaves, or old tan ; but the covering must be removed before the plants aj^pear. 



Ranunculus roots are so remarkably cheap, that we should recommend (except in the case of named 

 varieties) immediately they have done blooming, to dig up the beds and put in the summer and autumn 

 blooming plants. 



THE PAXTONIAN SECTION OP DOUBLE PERSIAN RANUNCULUS 



Is composed of varieties we have selected from several extensive collections, on account of their large 

 handsome flowers, brilliant coloiu-s, and adaptation for massing, bedding, clumping, and ribboning.
