RANUNCULUS, Turco-Persian, Turban and Persian, ht. j ft. 
Nothing produces a brighter or more gorgeous effect in May and June than beds of Ranun- 
culus ; the flowers are all good for cutting, and the culture is very simple. They thrive in any 
ordinary garden soil, but should have protection in spring from sharp winds. 
Culture. — P lant the Double Turban Ranunculi from November to March (the earlier the 
better), and the Turco-Persian and Persian during February and March. Set the tubers 3 or 
4 inches apart, pressing them firmly into the soil, daws downwards, and covering them with sand, 
then with soil ; keep the crown of the tuber two inches under the surface. After planting cover 
the ground with cut heather, or other light material, which remove when the plants appear above 
ground. In April a slight mulching of well-decayed manure will be found beneficial, and during 
dry weather the plants should be given abundance of water. If grown as pot-plants put three tubers 
in a 4-inch pot, and plunge out of doors for a time. 
RANUNCULUS, Double Turban or Turkish for Bedding. 
The flowers of the Turban Ranunculus are large, rose-like, and self-coloured. In beds, 
ribbons, and masses in the borders, the rich yellow, bright orange, brilliant scarlet, beautiful rose- 
carmine, and pure white flowers are very effective in spring.
