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.100. p. doz.

BABIANAS. 
The flowers of the Bablana 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 foliage to the Sparaxis 
and Tritonia, and have the same fine dwarf compact growth ; the three are good companion plants for pots, 
rockeries, or the front of borders.

THE RANUNCULUS. 
Culture.— P lant the Turban and Turco-Persian 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 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. During severe weather, cover the early plantings with wheat straw or marsh reeds, 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. 
If grown as pot-plants put three tubers in a four-inch pot and plunge out of doors for a time.

DOUBLE TURBAN OR TURKISH BEDDING RANUNCULUS. 
The flowers of the Turban RanunculUB 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, and pure 
■white flowers are very effective in Spring.

TURCO PERSIAN BEDDING RANUNCULUS, New Large-flowering. 
This new race of Ranunculus is remarkable for a vigorous growth, and is profusely floriferous. Where 
cut flowers are in demand, these new Ranunculus are most valuable, as flowers may be gathered from the 
same bed several times a week, during the flowering period, without impairing the display.
