BULBS 
CALIFORNIA RANUNCULUS 
We find an ever increasing demand for our 
wonderful strains of these most lovely spring 
flowers, and each succeeding year supply 
many thousands of the finest bulbs grown. 
Ranunculus are taller growing than Ane¬ 
mones, and the flowers are more double 
(some are semi-double and still others are 
single) and the colors cover a wide range of 
reds, rose, orange, yellow with many inter¬ 
mediate shades. A splendid cut flower. 
Ranunculus should not be planted more 
than 4 or 5 inches apart, as they succeed best 
in mass plantings. They require a sunnv lo¬ 
cation, good drainage, and very little fertilizer. 
After planting, a good mulci, of ground peat 
moss is very beneficial.

Delivery August 1st 
California grown Fressia bulbs are recognized as the best by leading florists. Long stems 
can be developed by planting in semi-shady situations or under cheese cloth. Plantings made 
in the full sun seldom produce as long stems as those in the semi-shade or filtered sunlight. 
In climates where the winters are severe, we do not recommend planting out of doors, but use 
only as a house plant for window boxes and pot culture, or green house growing. In Southrn 
States with mild climate, such as we have here in California, they naturalize very quickly. 
When planting in pots, be sure and plant in colonies of four or five so that you will have a 
good showing.
