A FIELD OF RANUNCULUS TECOLOTE GIANTS IN FULL BLOOM 
Liefgreen’s Giant Tecolote Ranunculus 
(SEE PAGE 3 FOR VARIETIES AND PRICES) 
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 varie- 
gated borne on strong stems 8 to 10 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. 
Giant Tecolote Ranunculus 
By far the most magnificent strain of RANUNCU- 
LUS ever offered to 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 
oftered at bargain prices. All sizes as offered are 
strictly up to standard. 
CULTURE OF RANUNCULUS 
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 fail, water thoroughly 
and plunge in ashes or sand until they are sprouted. 
The bulbs resemble tiny clumps with finger-like projections which 
Soak the 
and cover about 2 inches deep, 4 to 6 inches apart, and if soil is 
should be planted pointed down. bulbs in water 2 hours 
at all heavy, cover with peat moss in order that leaves will push 
through readily without heaving the soil. A rich under-soil is de- 
sirable, 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 abundance of water and good drainage is essential.
