RANUNCULUS 
Half hardy in northern climates, should be planted as 
early as possible in spring. May be started in a cool place, 
in pots, later to be set out when danger of freezing is over. 
Early February planting is recommended in climates where 
there is some light freezes. Where there is no danger of freez- 
ing, planting is best done in late fall. Plant 2 inches deep, 
about 4 inches apart, being sure to plant the bulbs with 
the ‘claws’? downward. Moisture should not fail during the 
growing season.

strain grown by one of California’s most

ried on tall graceful stems, they are un- 
excelled for cut flowers. Few flowers, so 
easy to grow, will give such a profusion 
of bloom for such a small investment, 
each bulb producing about a dozen flow- 
ers over a long period.
