TRITONI AS, BABIANAS, AND THE RANUNCULUS. 
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. For pot-culture they are most valuable. At Cliveden, 
the late Mr. Fleming was m 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 
the Sparaxis and Tritonia, in pots or out of doors.

THE 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 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 TURBAN OR TURKISH RANUNCULUS. 
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, 
are very effective in Spring.

NEW LARGE-FLOWERING TURCO-PERSIAN RANUNCULUS. 
This new race of Ranunculus is remarkable for a vigorous growth, and is profusely floriferous ; the 
plants attain a height of about 18 inches, and produce from 10 to 15 blossoms each. Where cut flowers are 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. s# j
