RANUNCULU S — continued. 
Barr's Giant Turco-Persian Ranunculus, for Bedding. 
This new race of Ranunculus 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, 
these grand Ranunculuses 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.

Double Turban or Turkish Ranunculus, for Bedding. 
The flowers of the Turban Ranunculus differ from the Persian in being larger, more rose-like, and 
self-coloured. In beds, ribbons, and masses in the borders, the rich yellow, bright orange, brilliant scarlet , 
beautiful rose-carmine, and pure white flowers are very effective in Spring.
