MISCELLANEOUS BULBS 
Anemones and Ranunculi 
Half Hardy 
These two flowers yield so many brilliant and 
delightful blossoms at such small cost that they 
should be used in quantity wherever they can be 
grown. Each root will produce a good-sized clump 
throwing 12 or 15 spikes lasting a long time. Along 
the Pacific Coast they can be wintered without 
difficulty. Where the winters are more severe 
they should be well protected or planted in the 
early spring. The best method of starting Anemo¬ 
nes and Ranunculi is to place the roots in moist 
sand in a moderately warm place until new root 
growth starts, then plant out in loose sandy soil, 
covering about 2 inches deep. Make sure the drain¬ 
age is good. 
The bulbs w^e supply are No. 1 size, not to be 
confused with the puny little stock sometimes of¬ 
fered at very low prices.
