HARR'S TURCO’ PERSIAN 
RANUNCUt.t. 
Ranunculus, Turco-Persian, Turban and Persian. 
CULTURE.— Plant the Turban and Turco-Persian Ranunculus from October 
to March, and the Persian varieties from January to April in light richly manured 
soil. Select a dry day for planting and draw drills two inches deep and five or six 
inches apart ; at the bottom of the drill sprinkle a little sand, 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. Cover the early plantings with 
long straw, ced heather, or other light material, which remove in spring when danger 
of severe frosts is gone. 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 ensure fine flowers. In watering, wet the foliage as little as possible. While in 
growth the plants must be protected from cutting winds, and this can be managed 
by sticking in the bed cut evergreen branches. If grown as pot-plants put three 
tubers in a 4-inch pot and plunge out of doors until well rooted. 
Ranunculus, Barr’s Giant Turco-Persian, 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 
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.
