DOUBLE TURBAN OR TURKISH RANUNCULUS. 
These differ from the Persian in the flowers being larger, more rose-like, and self-coloured. They are very 
effective in Spring, and adapted for beds, ribbons, and masses ; their rich yellow, bright orange, brilliant scarlet, 
and pure white flowers are unsurpassed.

NEW LARGE FLOWERING TURCO-PERSIAN RANUNCULUS. 
This new race of Ranunculus is remarkable for a vigorous growth, e.vtraordinary floriferous character, and 
attains a height of about 18 inches, with 10 to 15 flowers on a plant. Where cut flowers are in demand this 
class of Ranunculus is most valuable, as flowers may be gathered from a bed of these several times a week 
without imparing tire display. £ $. d. e, d.

THE ANEMONE. 
The Anemone should occupy a conspicuous place in every garden. Its blossoms are of the most dazzling 
hues of scarlet, purple, and blue, in self-colours and stripes. The foliage is elegantly laciniated, the growth 
is neat and compact, and in beds, groups, ribbons, or edgings to beds, either in distinct or mixed colours, few 
plants are so decorative. A bed of Scarlet Anemones for brilliancy is unsurpassed amongst Spring flowers. In 
our Experimental Grounds we usually have Anemones in flower from six to eight months. Stray flowers generally 
appear in November or December, and in sheltered localities, during mild winters, the graceful and brilliant 
Anemone fulgens, when left undisturbed, flowers from January till April or May, furnishing a supply of the most 
charming flowers for vases and table bouquets. In the more massive forms of the single and double Poppy Anemone 
there is a charming variety in colour and combination. Besides these, the Starry Windflower (Anemone St ellata), 
and the beautiful blue Anemone Apennina and Blanda make up a family of Spring flowers combining diversity 
and brilliancy almost matchless for effect. With the exception of Apennina and Blanda, all are valuable as 
cut flowers, and very lasting in water. By continuous planting from September to April, a succession can be 
ensured to June or July. This season the cut flowers of Anemone fulgens which we exhibited at the Horticultural 
Gardens, and at King Street, attracted an unusual amount of attention. The brilliant scarlet Field-Poppy, 
were it to flower in March and April, would convey the effect of Anemone fulgens. When the Anemone is 
used for pot culture, the pots are best out of doors plunged in ashes to the rim till the flower buds appear. 
Culture. — 'I he Anemone docs best in a light loamy soil, but succeeds in any good soil which is well drained. 
In their native habitat Anemones are found in such places as vineyards and oliveyards, where they are partially 
protected from the scorching rays of the sun, the enemy of most spring flowers. 
NEW DOUBLE POPPY ANEMONES, FOR BEDS AND MASSES. 
The flowers of the Double Anemone are extremely handsome, resembling a semi-double Hollyhock, and 
when planted from October to December, they bloom in succession in the early Spring months, while those 
planted in February or March flower from April to June.
