Ranunculus 
Few more brilliantly colored flowers are to be found in 
the Jris family than these “‘Shell Flowers,” undoubtedly 
named for the iridescent beauty of the large, bizarrely 
formed blossoms. 
The foliage is short and sabre-like, with stems rising to 
21% feet bearing unique triangular flowers of three outer 
long petals and three inner short. Center petals are gayly 
spotted and banded thus giving the plant one of its com- 
mon names “Tiger Flower”. When this plant is set to a 
depth of 4 inches in rich moist soil in a sunny location it is 
very free flowering, filling the dull summer period with 
many weeks of gay, cooling colors. It is most effective 
when clumped, preferably with a low foreground planting. 
Culture is the same as for Gladiolus. 
Of these charming and uncommon tuberous-rooted plants 
we grow a large stock, and can supply strong, healthy 
corms.
