TRITONIAS. 
The habit and growth of these resemble the Sparaxis, but the prevailing colours differ, and flowering later, 
they form a most important succession. The colours range from buff to rose and the richest glowing orange, 
the flowers always having a beautiful transparency. For pot-culture they are most valuable. P j 1 , d.

BABIANAS. 
The flowers of the Babiana range in colour from blue to the richest crimson-magenta, and are set off 
by a dark green hairy foliage. They form a striking contrast both in flower and fojmgel to ' «*e Sparax s 
and Tritonia, and have the same fine dwarf compact growth; the three are good companion plants in pot 
or out of doors.

THE RANUNCULUS. 
Culture.— Plant the Turban Ranunculus from October to March, and the Persian varieties from 
January to April. When the soil works kindly, and the day is dry, draw drills two inches deep, and five or ax 
inches apart ; at the bottom of the drill sprinkle a little sand, press the tubers firmly into the soil, claws 1 down- 
wards, and cover with sand, then with soil, keeping the crown of the tuber two inches under ^ th ® ™ rfac .®- 
During severe weather, cover the early plantings with dry litter, leaves, or old tan and this remove before the 
foliage in Spring gets injured. In April and May, during dry weather, water the beds freely, two or three times 
a week if necessary ; and when the flower- buds appear, water daily if required, and continue doing so while the 
plants are blooming ; this will insure fine flowers. In watering, wet the foliage as little as possible.

colourel Tn ^ds. ribbons “d masses, the rich yellow, bright orange, brilliant scarlet, and pure white flowers, 
are very effective in Spring.
