Two Little Known 
Flowers 
(And Such Funny Looking Bulbs!) 
Ranunculus Blooms 
Ranunculus Bulbs 
Nothing pro¬ 
duces a brighter 
effect than a bed of Ranunculus. The flow¬ 
ers are wonderfully 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. Just 
cultivate and water moderately. Warning! 
Too much water may cause failure. Keep soil 
moist but not very wet. Easy to grow. In 
fall take up the bulbs, store in dry place 
away from frost. Replant the next spring. 
TECOEOTE GIANTS. Largest and most mag¬ 
nificent strain. Award of Merit, Mass. Hort. 
Society 1933 and 1934. 10 for 50c; 25 for 
$1.00; 100 for $3.80, 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 several 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!) 
MONARCH DE CAEN. Very favorite strain. 
Immense brilliant flowers. 10 for 40c; 25 
for 90c; 100 for $3.20, prepaid.
