RANUNCULUS AND ANEMONE CORONARIA. 
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 six 
inches apart ; at the bottom of the drill sprinkle a little sand, press the tubers firmly into the soil, claws down- 
wards, and cover with sand, then with soil, keeping the crown of the tuber two inches under the surface. 
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 diy 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.

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

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.

THE ANEMONE, OR WINDFLOWER. 
For brilliancy of colour few flowers can compare with the Anemone, which in Spring produces its masses of 
double or single blossoms in an. endless variety of shades, scarlets, crimsons, roses, blushes, lilacs, blues, purples, 
and whites, all of which for cutting are valuable, lasting long in water. For beds, edgings, and masses, 
it is matchless, and may be had in bloom, weather permitting, from November to July, according to situation’ 
locality, and time of planting. 
Culture.— Any good soil, moderately well drained, suits the Anemone. Plant in succession A. coronaria 
varieties from October to May, the roots four to six inches apart, at a depth of two to three inches, choosing 
a dry day, and when the ground is in good working condition. The plantings for Summer and Autumn- 
flowering, should be in a situation where the ground is moist , and is shaded from the suns rays from after 10 
or 11 a.m. J J 
NEW DOUBLE POPPY ANEMONES FOR BEDS AND MASSES (A. coronaria varieties), 
flowers of the Double Poppy Anemone resemble a semi-double Hollyhock, and are extremely hand- 
some. When planted from October to December, they flower in succession during the early Spring months, 
and those planted from January to April flower in succession from April to July. Each amateur should plant 
Autumn and Spring, and find out which is best for his soil and climate. p. 100. p . doz.
