Ranunculus 
Plant the bulbs six inches apart each way and two 
inches deep, cover with sandy soil, so that the leaves 
will push through easily. They will not bear our New 
England winters. They like plenty of moisture at the 
root when in growth, and if they can be partially shaded 
from direct rays of the sun when in flower, their dura¬ 
tion of blooming will be lengthened. If wanted for the 
parlor or greenhouse, plant in light soil, in bulb-pans, 
in January, and grow them in a temperature of not over 
sixty degrees. Doz. 100
