LIEFGREEN'S GIANT "TECOLOTE'' 
A more wonderful display of color cannot 
be pictured than a mass of Ranunculus in 
full blossom and we know of no other bulb 
that will give the profusion of blooms for 
the amount of money expended. The large 
globular flowers 2 and 3 inches across carry a 
wide range of bright shades, including crimson, 
orange, pink, yellow and white, with some 
striped and variegated borne on strong stems 
8 to to inches in length. A most gorgeous 
effect in beds and borders, while as cut 
flowers they are very satisfactory, keeping 
fresh in water for a long time. Once grown 
you will never be without them. 
Culture: In warm climates. Ranunculus may 
be planted in early Fall for Winter bloom 
and from that time in succession until Spring. 
For pot grown Winter flowers, plant early in 
Fall, water thoroughly and plunge in ashes 
or sand until they are sprouted. 
The bulbs resemble tiny clumps with finger¬ 
like projections which should be planted 
pointed down. Soak the bulbs in water 2 hours 
and cover about 2 inches deep, 4 to 6 inches 
apart, and if soil is at all heavy, cover with 
peat moss in order that leaves will push 
through readily without heaving the soil. A 
rich under-soil is desirable, but use no fresh 
fertilizer around the bulb. Plant in a partly 
shaded location, particularly if grown for 
blooming in late Spring or early Summer, 
otherwise if planted in locations like the 
Phoenix, Arizona, valley during the Fall 
months in a sunny, open location. An abund¬ 
ance of water and good drainage is essential. 
By far the largest and most magnificent 
strain of Ranunculus ever offered the public. 
Flowers very double, blended with semi¬ 
double. Centers are usually light green. Our 
mixture contains a beautiful range of colors. 
Do not confuse them with the cheap kinds 
offered at reduced prices.

These lovely flowers are deservedly pop¬ 
ular. With an exceedingly wide range of 
color and color combinations, and an adapt¬ 
ability for both forcing and outdoor planting, 
the Anemone is a most useful and satisfactory 
flower. The plants thrive best in a rather 
rich, sandy loam, but will do well in most 
any well-drained garden soil. Ready Sep¬ 
tember 1st. 
Culture: For pot forcing, place six or more 
in a pot of proportionate size and handle the 
same as Tulips and Hyacinths, keeping them 
well watered at blooming time. For outdoor, 
they are suitable for borders, rockeries and 
mass bedding. Plant the tubers 6 to 7 inches 
apart, 2 inches deep, laid flat with the grow¬ 
ing knobs upward. Soaking the tubers before 
planting hastens the blooming. In warm 
climates, free of heavy freezing. Anemones 
may be planted from early Fall to early 
Spring and several plantings will produce a 
continuous bloom in 4 to 5 months' time. 
Under colder conditions, a mulching of 
leaves and litter is necessary and in regions 
subject to extreme cold, the tubers should be 
carried over in a cold frame and planted 
in the Spring. After flowering and the leaves 
have dried off, lift the tubers, dry and store 
in dry sand until next planting time. In 
warm climates they may remain in the ground 
and rested under rather dry conditions.
