RANUNCULUS, Turco-Persian, Turban and Persia,n. 
Nothing produces a brighter or more gorgeous effect in May and June than beds of Ranun- 
culus, the flowers are all good for cutting, and the culture is very simple. They will grow in 
any ordinary flower border enriched with manure. 
Culture. — Plant from October to February, 3 or 4 inches apart, selecting a dry day; press 
the tubers firmly into the soil, claws downwards , and cover them with sand, then with soil, keeping 
the crown of the tuber two inches under the surface. After planting, cover the ground with long 
straw , cut heather , or other light material , which remove in March. In April and May, during dry 
weather, water the beds freely ; a plentiful crop of fine flowers will be the result. If grown as 
pot-plants put three tubers in a 4-inch pot, and plunge out of doors for a time. 
RANUNCULUS, Barr’s Giant Turoo-Persian for Bedding. 
This new race Of Ranunculi is remarkable for a vigorous growth and profuse flowering. 
The blooms are large and very handsome, in great diversity of colour. When massed in flower 
beds and borders, they produce a glorious effect. For cutting they are most valuable, and flowers 
may be gathered from the same bed several times a week, during the flowering period, without 
impairing the display. s. d.
