T1IE 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 sou, 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 witli 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.

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 white flowers, 
arc very effective in Spring.

NEW LARGE-FLOWERING TURCO-PERSIAN RANUNCULUS. 
This new race of Ranunculus is remarkable for a vigorous growth, and is profusely florifcrous ; the 
plants attain a height of about 18 inches, and produce from 10 to 15 blossoms each. Where cut flowers arc 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, ror beds, 
edgings, and masses, where Spring flowers arc 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 groves 
mostly in vineyards and oliveyards, 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 m good working 
condition and on a dry day. The plantings for Summer and A utumn-flowcring, must be in a situation where 
the ground is moist , and in shade from after io or u a. in. 
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. 100 ^ ^
