RANUNCULUS. 
Giant French, Turban and Persian. 
Nothing produces a brighter or more gorgeous effect in 
May and June than beds of Ranunculus ; the flowers arc 
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.— Plant the Double Turban Ranunculi from 
November to March (the earlier the better), and the Giant 
French 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 heat her , 
or other light materia /, 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 
4-incli pot, and plunge out of doors for a time.
