THE H_A_TTX7HOTJI-.TJS. 
The RAiSTUHCULUS, for symmetry of form and brilliancy of color, are scarcely to be sur¬ 
passed. It is supposed by many that our climate is too severe for their cultivation, but by follow¬ 
ing the directions here given they may be grown without difficulty. For its culture it requires a 
good depth of rich garden soil; when the situation is defective, remove the old material to the 
depth of nearly two feet, and four to five feet in width, for one bed, replacing it with rich, fresh 
pasture or garden loam. On this should be laid a liberal dressing of well decayed manure mixing 
it a little with the under soil, and finish by adding as a surface stratum about six inches of good 
porous loam, well mixed with decayed cow dung and leaf soil, in which to plant the tubers. Plant 
in October, November and December and protect thoroughly from frost by a covering of straw or 
leaves. The Ranunculus forms its roots near the surface, and therefore is unable to withstand a 
dry and parched soil; hence should dry weather occur in April and May, give the beds a liberal 
drenching of water, taking care to wet the foliage as little as possible. After the flowers fade the 
foliage turns yellow, which shows the tubers to be in a fit state for immediate removal, and being 
carefully taken up, fully dried and placed in some cool airy situation. For culture in pots, the 
same compost described above may be used, planting three bulbs in a five-inch pot. Place them 
in a cold frame and remove them few at a time to the greenhouse or conservatory.
