DOUBLE TURBAN RANUNCULUS. 
as pot-plants put three tubers in 
RANUNCULUS. 
Turco-Persian, Turban and Persian. 
Nothing produces a brighter or more gorgeous effect in 
May and June than beds of Ranunculus; 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. 
Cui/ruRi5. — Plant 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, 
claws 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 othe 7 ‘ h^ht material^ which remove when the planls appear 
above ground. In April a slight mulching of well-decayed 
manure will be found beneficial, and during dry weather 
the planls should be given abundance of water. If grown 
a 4-inch pot, and plunge out of doors for a time. 
RANUNCULUS, Double Turban or Turkish, ht. J ft.
