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 downwards, 
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 dry weather, water the beds freely, if necessary two or three 
times a week ; and when the flower-buds appear, water if required daily, and continue doing so while the 
plants are blooming, taking every care not to wet the foliage if possible.

DOUBLE TURBAN OR TURKISH RANUNCULUS. 
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 while flowers, 
are very effective in Spring.

TURC0-PERSIAN NEW LARGE-FLOWERING RANUNCULUS. 
This new race of Ranunculus is remarkable for a vigorous growth, and is profusely floriferous ; the 
plants attain a height of about 18 inches, and produce from 10 to 15 blossoms. 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. 
Anemone flowers embrace scarlets, roses, blues, and purples of the most dazzling hues, also the purest 
whites, and endless variations in stripes. The habit of the plant is excellent, and the foliage elegant. For beds, 
edgings, and masses, where Spring flowers are grown it is matchless, and may be had in bloom, weather per- 
mitting, from November to July, according to situation, locality, and time of planting. 
Culture. — Any good soil, moderately well drained, suits the Anemone. In its native habitat it grows 
mostly in vineyards and oliveyatds, where it is partially protected from the sun's rays and parching winds, the 
most potent enemies of Spring flowers. Plant in succession from August to May, the roots four to six inches 
apart, and at a depth of two to three inches ; this should be done when the ground is in good working 
condition and on a dry day. The plantings for Summer and Autumn-flowering, must be in a situation where 
the ground is moist, and in shade from after 10 or 11 a.m. 
NEW DOUBLE POPPY ANEMONES, FOR BEDS AND MASSES. 
The flowers of the Double Poppy Anemone resemble a semi-double Hollyhock, and are extremely hand- 
some. When planted from September 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.
