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 abed 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 for 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 of 
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, 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. 
In the Ranunculus, there is much diversity of shade and colour, this, combined with symmetry 
and compactness, makes it, as a cut flower, as useful as the Rose. The Ranunculus flowers in May and June, 
and is much used for beds, ribbons, masses, and edgings, both in mixed and in separate colours. 
Cultuke. — P lant the Turban Ranunculus from October to March, and the Persian varieties from January to
