Two Little Known Flowers 
(And Such Funny Looking Bulbs!) 
Ranunculus Blooms 
Ranunculus Bulbs 
Nothing produces a brighter effect than a 
bed of Ranunculus. The flowers are wonder¬ 
fully good for cutting also. Plants about a 
foot high with flowers two inches or so in 
diameter, many of them double, in a variety 
of bright and pleasing colors. 
The bulbs are even funnier in appearance 
than those of the Anemone. They look like 
dried up bird’s feet and of no value whatever. 
You’d swear they would not grow, much less 
produce beautiful flowers. But just plant them 
out in the garden any time after the ground 
warms up and see them do their stuff. Set 
these little “crowfoot” bulbs about two inches 
deep, pressing them firmly in the soil. (The 
“claws” are bottom of bulb.) Thrive best in 
partial shade. 
Space the bulbs 5 or 6 inches apart, though 
may be a little closer. Just cultivate and 
water moderately. Easy to grow. In fall 
take up the bulbs, store in dry place away 
from frost. Replant the next spring. Prices: 
Doz. 50c; 50 for $1.90; 100 for $3.60, prepaid. 
Anemone Bulbs 
Plant the bulbs any time from early spring 
to middle of June. The plants grow 8 to 12 
inches high. Several flower stems come from 
a small bulb. Flowers are bright colors in 
mixture, some single, a few double, and sev¬ 
eral inches in diameter. For best results, 
plant in partial shade. 
The Anemone bulbs are very peculiar. Dry, 
hard and apparently lifeless, they respond 
quickly when planted two inches deep in any 
good garden soil. Set the bulbs 4 to 6 inches 
apart. No special culture required. In fall 
take up bulbs and store in a dry place. Re¬ 
plant the next spring. (Or use for pants 
buttons. That’s what they look like!) 
Price for these funny little bulbs that pro¬ 
duce such a wealth of blooms: Doz. 40c; 50 
for $1.60; 100 for $3.00, prepaid.
