_Large-Flowered Ranunculus 
IN GORGEOUS COLORS | 
Each year Ranunculus becomes more popular as a cut flower. With their richly 
colored flowers and simple growing habits it is little wonder that the demand 
exceeds the supply every year. Our Large Flowered Hybrids are by far the 
largest and finest strain of Ranunculus we have ever seen. They produce full 
double flowers with a blending of semi-double and single blooms. They measure 
two inches and more across and range in color through all the shades of red, 
rose, salmon, orange, yellow, etc. Such desirable and inexpensive bulbs should 
be planted liberally for cut flowers that start blooming in late June. Bulbs can 
be grown or planted outside after the 
ground thaws, or grown indoors in 
pots. Recommended for partial shade,
