RANUNCULUS 
Half hardy in northern climates, should be planted 
as early as possible in early spring. May be started 
inside in a cool place, in pots, later to be set out 
when danger of freezing is over. Early February plant- 
inging is recommended in climates where there is some 
light freezes. Where there is no danger of freezing, 
planting is best done in late fall. Plant 2 in. deep, 
about 4 in. apart, being sure to plant the bulbs with 
the “‘claws’’ downward. Moisture should not fail dur- 
ing the growing season. 
IMPROVED GIANT FRENCH. A su- 
perior strain grown by one of Cali- 
fornia’s most successful growers 
of this most popular flower. The 
large double flowers are carried 
on tall graceful stems, they are un- 
excelled for cut flowers. Few other 
flowers, so easy to grow, will give 
such a profusion of bloom for such 
a small investment, each bulb pro- 
ducing about a dozen flowers over 
a long period.
