THE RANUNCULUS. 
Culture. — Plant the Turban and Turco-Persian 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 
downwards, 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 two or three times 
a week, if necessary ; and when the flower-buds appear, water daily if required, and continue doing so while the 
plants are blooming ; this will insure fine flowers. In watering , wet the foliage as little as possible.

coloured. In beds, ribbons, and masses, the rich yellow, bright orange, brilliant scarlet, anti pure white flowers,

attain a height of about 18 inches, and produce from 10 to 15 blossoms each. Where cut flowers are in demand,

THE ANEMONE, OR WINDFLOWER. 
For brilliancy of colour in Spring, few flowers can compare with the Anemone. The blossoms range in 
colour from scarlets to blues and purples , and from roses and lilacs to blushes and snow-whites, and are greatly 
valued for cutting. For beds, edgings, and masses, 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. — A ny good soil, moderately well drained, suits the Anemone. Plant in succession, A. Coronaria 
varieties, from October to May, the roots four to six inches apart, at a depth of two to three inches, choosing 
Li dry day, and when the ground is in good working condition. During mild seasons or in sheltered situations, the 
Autumn-planted Anemones flower continuously through the Winter and Spring. The Spring plantings for 
Summer and Autumn-flowering should be in a situation where the ground is moist , and is shaded from the sun s 
rays from after io or n a.m.
