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 conservatory 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. 1 bulbs will produce a larger number of flowers per bulb and 
are recommended where your planting space is small. Grade No. 2 bulbs are 
larger than those I sold last season and are recommended as the most satis¬ 
factory 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. 
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 grow¬ 
ing 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 blooming 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 discard, for new ones will give you much better results.
