MORPHIXIAS. 
These have the same graceful habit as the Ixia, and are very fioriferous ; they come into bloom later than the 
Ixias, and continue in flower frequently till August.

SPARAXIS. 
It would be difficult to conceive colours more diversified and gorgeous than is represented by the Sparaxis, 
and one can well appreciate Mr. Saunders’ observation, “that he has seen the knee of an enthusiast bent and 
gymnastics performed over a bed of these, without feeling at liberty to condemn the performer.” The fine 
compact dwarf growth of the Sparaxis, and its rich beautiful colours, mark its suitability lor pot-culture.

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. At Cliveden, the late Mr. fleming was in the habit ol 
growing hundreds of pots of Crocata for furnishing jardinets.

BABIANAS. 
The flowers of the Babiana range in colour from blue to the richest crimson-magenta t and set off 
by a dark green hirsute foliage, they form a striking contrast both in flower and foliage to the Sparaxis 
and Tritonia. The Babiana has the same fine dwarf compact growth, and is a good companion plant to 
Sparaxis and Tritonia, in pots or out of doors.

THE RANUNCULUS. 
Culture.— Plant the Turban Ranunculus from October to March, and the Pereian 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 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 to wet the foliage as little as possible. 
DOUBLE PERSIAN RANUNCULUS FOR BEDS, RIBBONS, AND MASSES. 
The named varieties have been selected on account of their large flowers and fine colours.
