Strikingly beautiful flowers, well ada|>ted to 
pot culture, in the house. The individual flow- 
ers are about two inches in diameter, as full and 
double as the finest Camelia or Rose, and as a 
cut flower, quite as useful as the Rose itself. 
Like Anemones, they do best planted in very 
rich soil, having a northerly exposure to escape 
our sharp winds and too much sun. The beds 
should have good drainage, and the soil be light 
and warm. Plant three inches deep, in October 
or November, and press the earth close around 
them. They will amply repay all care bestowed 
upon them. Ranunculus bulbs are peculiarly 
shajied and should be handled carefully, but if 
kept (iUiTK nuY when out of the ground, they 
will last almost any length of time. '
