MISCELLANEOUS BULBS 
Not Too Hardy 
Anemones and Ranunculi 
Half Hardy 
These two brilliant flowers delight in our 
Pacific Coast climate but in the colder sections of 
the country they must be protected or planted in 
the spring. Each root will produce a nice clump 
that will continue to bloom over a long period. 
The roots should be soaked in tepid water for sev¬ 
eral hours and then planted two inches deep in a 
fairly rich loose soil having good drainage.

of the single poppy type anemone with immense

PEONIES 
Herewith is a carefully selected list of good 
peonies. They are such permanent plants that it 
is a great mistake to buy cheap inferior varieties. 
The figures preceding the names are the ratings 
of the American Peony Society. 
In planting see that the eyes are about two 
inches below the surface of the ground. Too deep 
planting is one of the main causes of shy bloom¬ 
ing.
