DOUBLE TURBAN OR TURKISH RANUNCULUS. 
These differ from the Persian in the flowers being larger, more rose-like, and self-coloured. They are very 
effective in Spring, and adapted for beds, ribbons, and masses ; their rich yellow, bright orange, brilliant scarlet, 
and pure while flowers, are unsurpassed.

NEW LARGE-FLOWERING TURCO-PERSIAN RANUNCULUS. 
This new race of Ranunculus is remarkable for a vigorous growth, extraordinary floriferous character, and 
attains a height of about 18 inches, with 10 to 15 flowers on a plant. Where cut flowers are in demand this 
class of Ranunculus is most valuable, as flowers may be gathered from a bed of these several times a week 
without imparing the display. £ s. d. *. d.

THE ANEMONE. 
The Anemone should occupy a conspicuous place in every garden. Its blossoms are of the most dazzling 
hues of scarlet, purple, and blue, in self-colours and stripes. The foliage is elegantly laciniated, the growth 
is neat and compact, and in beds, groups, ribbons, or edgings to beds, either in distinct or mixed colours, few 
plants are so decorative as the Single and Double Poppy Anemone. A bed of Scarlet Anemones for brilliancy 
is unsurpassed amongst Spring flowers. In our Experimental Grounds we usually have Anemones in flower 
from six to eight months. Stray flowers generally appear in November or December. In sheltered localities, 
during mild winters, the graceful and brilliant Anemone fulgens, when left undisturbed, flowers from January 
till April or May, furnishing a supply of the most charming flowers for vases and table bouquets ; and if planted 
in succession till May, ti e supply of cut flowers can be maintained rill July or August. Besides these, the Starry 
Windflower (Anemone Stellata), and the beautiful blue Anemone Apennina and Blanda make up a family of 
Spring flowers combining diversity and brilliancy almost matchless for effect. With the exception of Apennina 
and Blanda, all the Anemones are valuable as cut flowers, and very lasting in water. By successional planting 
from September to April, a supply of these flowers for vases can be ensured to July. When the Anemone is 
used for pot culture, the pots should remain out of doors plunged in ashes to the rim till the flower buds appear. 
Culture.—' The Anemone does best in a light loamy soil, but succeeds in any good soil which is well drained. 
In their native habitat they are found in such places as vineyards and oliveyards, where they are partially 
protected from the scorching rays of the sun, the enemy of most spring flowers. 
NEW DOUBLE POPPY ANEMONES, FOR BEDS AND MASSES. 
The flowers of the Double Anemone are extremely handsome, resembling a semi-double Hollyhock, and 
when planted from October to December, they bloom in succession in the early Spring months, while those 
planted in February, March, or April, flower from April to July.
