For most of our native woodland plants and others (mostly shade lovers, as 
Primroses, Pulmonarias, etc.) described as requiring a rich acid loam, we use 
the following compost; 4 part good rich, non-limy top-soil; 1 part acid leafmold; 
1 part peat moss; 1 part sharp sand or stone chips; and a 10 quart bucket of dry 
cow manure for each two wheelbarrows of soil. This is thoroughly mixed together 
before using. 

RANUNCULUS. Buttercup. (Ranunculaceae, Buttercup Family) 
Ranunculus repens pleniflorus. A bit on the weedy side but it is pretty and useful in 
large rock gardens. Large, lobed leaves about 8 inches high that forms masses on 
creeping stems; and pretty full double flowers of a bright yellow color on 12 to 
18 inch stems from April to July. A fast spreader in any ordinary garden soil 
in sun or light shade. (pH 4-7). Ici ache foneo0, 12 tor 3,50 
RHEXIA. Meadow Beauty. (Melastomaceae, Melastoma Family) 
Rhexia virginica. It is rightfully named Meadow Beauty. Neat clumps of oval leaves on 
square stems about 8 inches high and a colorful splash of vivid rosy purple flowers 
with showy yellow stamens in July and August to September. The only drawback 
on this lovely native of New Jersey is its restricted uses because of its soil require- 
ments. It must have a wet mucky, acid humus soil in full sun. (pH 4-6).
