RANUNCULUS TECOLOTE GIANTS 
Anemones and Ranunculi 
Half Hardy 
Where these two splendid flowers can be grown they should 
be an important part of the planting. Each so-called bulb or 
root will make a nice clump of perhaps 12 or 15 spikes. The 
anemones particularly flower over a long -period in the late 
winter and early spring. They will live outdoors through the 
winter without any great difficulty along the Pacific Coast. 
Where the winters are more severe they need to be well pro¬ 
tected or planted in the early spring. They can be planted in 
pots in the early spring and be slipped out of pots where they 
are wanted in the garden after danger of freezing is past. 
The best method of starting Anemones 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 drainage is good. 
A good supply of plant food and plenty of water are needed 
during the spring to produce large flowers. 
Unless otherwise specified our bulbs are of the No. 1 grade 
of the very best quality. Please do not confuse these with 
bargain lots being offered at extremely low prices. These are 
usually No. 4 grade or even sweepings from the bulb house 
floor.
