TURKISH RANUNCULUS, AND DOUBLE POPPY ANEMONE. 
25 
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.

NEW LARGE FLOWERING RANUNCULUS. 
This new race of Turco-Persian Ranunculus is remarkable for their vigorous growth and extraordinary 
floriferous character, attaining a height of 12 to 18 inches, with 10 to 15 flowers on a plant. Where cut flowers 
are in demand this Ranunculus is most valuable. Flowers may be gathered from a bed of these several times a 
week without in the least imparing the display.

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, so that in beds, groups, ribbons, or as an edging to beds, either in distinct or mixed 
colours, they are exceedingly decorative, while a bed of Scarlet Anemones is unsurpassed for its brilliant effect 
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. In sheltered localities, in mild winters, the 
graceful and brilliant Anemone fulgens, if left undisturbed, will flower from January till April. The more 
massive forms of Coronaria, the Poppy Anemone, lend a charming variety in colour and combination. Add to 
these the Starry Windflower (Anemone Stellata), and the beautiful blue Anemone Apennina and Blanda, and 
you have a family of Spring flowers combining diversity and brilliancy almost matchless for effect in the flower 
garden, and, with the exception of Apennina and Blanda, invaluable as a cut flower for table bouquets, lasting 
in water for a long time. A succession can be ensured to June or July by continuous planting from September 
to April. This season we had a gorgeous display in June from roots planted in April, and if they had been 
in a partially shaded situation the flowering would have continued into July. When the Anemoneis used for pot 
culture care should be taken to have them close to the glass as they draw very readily. 
Culture. — The Anemone does 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 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.
