ANEMONES AND 
RANUNCULUS 
1* you have seen the field in which Paul J. Howard’s 
fine Anemone and Ranunculus bulbs are grown, you will 
realize how far superior are these “Flowerland” Strains. 
Starting from carefully selected seed from the best types 
of flowers, the plants are grown to flower in the fields, 
where only the best ones are saved, both for bulbs and 
seed. All that are even slightly inferior in size, color or 
form are immediately discarded. Thus our strain is con¬ 
stantly being improved; each year’s harvest is better 
than the last. 
Paul J. Howard’s 
FRENCH ANEMONES 
These Anemones resemble large brightly colored pop¬ 
pies in a great variety of dazzling shades of red, rose, 
blue, purple and white, with black stamens in the center. 
They are most showy planted about four to six inches 
apart, in beds or groups to give a massed effect.

Lilce Anemones, Ranunculus should not be planted more 
than five or six inches apart, as they succeed best in mass 
plantings. (The extra large-sized bulbs can be planted farther 
apart). They require a sunny location, good drainage, and 
very little fertilizer. After planting, a good mulch of ground 
tobacco stems is very beneficial. 
CHINESE SACRED LILY 
This is the most popular bulb for growing in a dish 
or bowl of water. The bulbs should be placed on some 
coarse sand or pebbles in the bottom of a dish, and 
enough water should be added from time to time so 
that just the bottoms of the bulbs are kept covered. 
The dish should be kept in a cool and rather dark place 
for two or three weeks. As soon as the tops and roots 
are well started the dish can be brought to light and 
living room temperature, where they should come into 
bloom, brightening the room with their cheerful color 
and fragrance.
