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,

One of the prettiest and most easily grown bulbs; white and rose colored flowers, similar to the Amaryllis, but 
of miniature growth. For an effective display, the best way is to plant several bulbs in a box or flower pot. They 
can also be planted in the open ground in the spring, where they flower in great profusion during the summer; suit- 
able for the rock garden. Bulbs should be taken up in the fall and treated the same as Gladiolus.
