RANUNCULUS ASIATICUS 
Florist’s Ranunculus 
Our Giant Superba strain produces double and semi¬ 
double flowers of unusual size and will bloom within ten 
or twelve weeks after planting. 
In climates of mild winters where the ground is seldom 
frozen, these bulbs may be planted any time from the 
middle of August until the first of May. In colder 
climates, plant after the spring thaw, or in your conserv¬ 
atory so that they may be transplanted as soon as the 
ground thaws. Where the springs are cool the bulbs 
may be planted as late as the first of June.

Grade No. 2 bulbs, 40 for $1.00; 90 for $2.00; 1M, $18.00. 
Grade No. 1 bulbs will produce a larger number of 
flowers per bulb and are recommended where your plant¬ 
ing space is small. Grade No. 2 bulbs are larger than 
those I sold last season and are recommended as the 
most satisfactory size for the amateur gardener. Grade 
No. 3 are best where your area is large and you are 
willing to give the plants more care. All three grades 
will produce flowers of the same size, but the larger the 
bulb, the more flowers per bulb with the same amount 
of care. 
GIANT SUPERBA RANUNCULUS 
Ranunculus and Anemone Cultural Instructions 
Read carefully before planting. 
Soil —Sandy loam with plenty of drainage. 
Fertilizer- —Well rotted manure in soil prior to planting 
■—manure tea or dilute solutions of commercials at about 
two week intervals during the growing season. 
Planting —Soak bulbs three to five hours in cool water 
and then plant with prongs down, 2 inches deep and 4 
inches apart. 
Watering —Water frequently and thoroughly so that 
bulbs never suffer for want of water. The good drainage 
required will prevent their rotting. 
Blooms— Cutting blooms will increase your yield, and 
does not injure the bulb. A slight shade during the bloom¬ 
ing season will increase the size of the flowers. 
Saving Bulbs —When the leaves turn yellow and start 
to become dry, dig your bulbs and dry them out in a cool 
dry place. Use your bulbs for two years and then dis¬ 
card, for new ones will give you much better results.

culus and are often planted with them, as they furnish 
the blue not found among the ranunculus.
