THE RANUNCULUS. 
A truly elegant and beautiful flower, combining with the most diversified shades and colours, an exquisite 
symmetry and compactness possessed by few plants. As a cut flower it is quite as useful as the Kose, 
while for bedding, massing, and edging, either in separate or mixed colours, the effect produced is mag- 
nificent ; its close habit of growth and rich distinct colours make it all that the most refined taste could 
desire for ribboning or any other style of gardening. 
Culture.— For successional blooming, plant the Turban varieties from October to January, and the 
Persian from January to March. The Ranunculus succeeds best in a somewhat moist soil, but any soil, 
properly prepared, will grow it to perfection. Plant on a dry day, when the soil works kindly ; draw drills 
two inches deep and five or six inches apart, sprinkling a little sand at the bottom of the drill. The tubers 
should be firmly pressed into the soil, with the claws downwards, and covered with sand, then with soil, 
keeping the crown two inches under the surface ; during severe weather, cover the bed with dry litter, 
leaves, or old tan ; but the covering must be removed before the plants appear. 
Ranunculus roots are so remarkably cheap, that we should recommend (except in the case of named 
varieties) immediately they have done blooming, to dig up the beds and put in the summer and autumn 
blooming plants. 
THE PAXTONIAN SECTION OP DOUBLE PERSIAN RANUNCULUS 
Is composed of varieties we have selected from several extensive collections, on account of their large 
handsome flowers, brilliant colours, and adaptation for massing, bedding, clumping, and ribboning.
