GIGANTIC FLOWERED DOUBLE 
RANUNCULI 
It is incomprehensible that these small spider-shaped bulbs possess so much sub¬ 
stance and vitality. A few months after they are planted, the space they occupy will 
be transformed into a lovely carpet of flowers. Each bulb will supply you with 
several, large double flowers borne by tall stems of about 8 inches, which are 
covered with a very fine foliage. Recommended for beds, edgings and rockeries, 
where the different colors will give a picturesque display. As they are exceptional¬ 
ly good for cutting, we advise you to plant some of them specially for that purpose. 
Cultivation i They may be planted upon their arrival with the legs downwards. 
They require a good, nutritive and manured soil. Heavy soil, especially clay must 
be mixed with peat. Do not plant them In low parts of the garden, which easily hold 
water. They are to be planted 1 inch deep and 2 l /> inches apart in a sunny spot. 
Plant bulbs during May; north of Washington, D. C. they require a mulch for winter 
protection. per 12 per 25 p . 100
