ANEMONE RANUNCULUS 
Dog Tooth Violets 
(Erythroniums) 
If they had no other beauty than that of their richly mottled 
leaves, they would be well worth a place in the shady corner. Their 
flowers are 3 inches across, with stems 6 to 18 inches high. The 
colors run in delicate tints of white, pink, cream, bright yellow and 
rose. They are hardy in the coldest States, and while they are at 
their best in a loose, gritty soil, rich in leaf mold, they also thrive in 
woodlands, in shaded corners, or in the crevices of rockwork in shade. 
Americanum. It produces in April, small, lily-like flowers, which 
vary through white, pink, bright yellow, rose, and cream. Bulbs 
should be planted about 5 inches deep. Per 100, $3.50; per 1,000,

Ranunculus 
With available flowers for early spring sharply reduced by the 
effects of war, the problem of every greenhouse owner is: What shall 
I plant in the benches usually devoted to material shut off by war? 
Ranunculus offer an immediate answer to this problem. No other 
flowers available to the florist can produce such a riot of color. 
They make an immediate hit with the public, as every flower show 
proves. Market records show that supplies in the past have sold 
out quickly at good prices, and next spring they will have far less 
competition. d 
The important thing is to grow a good strain, and Vaughan’s 
exclusive Victoria Hybrids have no rivals in abundant bloom, per- 
centage of doubles, strong stems, and size of flowers. The color 
range embraces pink, yellow, orange, brilliant scarlet, vivid apricot 
and innumerable tints of these colors. 
Culture is simple, and full directions will be supplied on request.
