24 PERSIAN AND TURKISH RANUNCULUS, AND DOUBLE POPPY ANEMONE. 
Ranunculus— continued, 
inches under the surface. During severe weather, cover the bed with dry litter, leaves, or old tan ; but the 
covering must be removed before the plants appear. In April and May, should the weather be dry, water the beds 
freely two or three times a week, and when the flower-buds appear water daily if necessary, and continue doing 
so while the plants are blooming ; but be careful to wet the foliage as little as possible.

DOUBLE TURBAN OR TURKISH RANUNCULUS. 
These differ considerably from the Persian in the flowers being larger and mostly of one colour. They are 
exceedingly effective in Spring, and admirably adapted for beds, ribbons, and masses in the Flower Garden, 
where their rich yellow, bright orange, brilliant scarlet, and pure white flowers are unsurpassed.

THE ANEMONE. 
Amongst the diversified forms of floral beauty which enrich the flower garden, from the first opening 
blossoms of Spring to the last rose of Summer, the Anemone should occupy a conspicuous place. Its blossoms 
are of the most dazzling hues of scarlet, purple, and blue, self-coloured and striped. The foliage is elegantly 
laciniated, and the growth is neat and compact, so that in beds, groups, ribbons, or as an edging to Tulip or 
Hyacinth beds, arranged either in distinct colours or mixed, they produce a unique effect. 
Culture. — The Anemone delights in a light rich loamy soil, but succeeds in any soil which is well drained. 
Sea-sand, or a little salt mixed with the soil, is a good preventive of mildew ; in other respects, the culture 
and after-management should be precisely the same as that of the Ranunculus. 
NEW DOUBLE ANEMONES, FOR BEDS AND MASSES. 
The flowers of the Double Anemone are extremely handsome, and resemble a semi-double Hollyhock. If 
planted from October to December, they will bloom in succession during the early Spring months, while those 
planted in February or March will flower from April to June. 
The following large flowered varieties are admirably adapted for planting in beds, masses, or ribbons as 
a contrast to each other. %. d. #. d.
