CULTURE 
Ranunculus are very easily grown. Soak 
the bulbs in water for a few hours before 
planting and cover with one inch of soil. In 
very heavy soils cover with pure sand. The 
bulbs have finger-like projections and these 
should be planted down. 
For a good garden display space them from 
4 to 6 inches apart. Do not use fresh fertilizers, 
the soil should be enriched some time before 
the roots are set out, a good application of 
commercial fertilizer is profitable. A liberal 
supply of water with good drainage is essen- 
tial.
