RANUNCULUS, Turco-Persian, Turban and Persian, ht. | 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 will grow in 
any ordinary flower border enriched with manure. 
Culture.— Plant from October to February, 3 or 4 inches apart, selecting a dry day; press the 
tubers firmly into the soil, claws downwards, and cover them with sand, then with soil, keeping 
the crown of the tuber two inches under the surface. After planting cover the ground with long 
straw, cut heather, or other light material, which remove in March. In April and May, during dry 
weather, water the beds freely, and a plentiful crop of fine flowers will be the result. If grown as 
pot-plants put three tubers in a 4-inch pot, and plunge out of doors for a time.
