RANUNCULUS 
IXIOLIRION 
(Siberian Bluebells) 
An elegant and very showy hardy plant, 
bearing umbels of beautiful deep blue or violet, 
tubular, six-lobed flowers in May and June. It 
thrives in any good deep light soil and a fairly 
open sunny situation. Height 10’’ to 12’. Very 
showy in borders and prized for cutting, the 
flowers lasting unusually long. It is beneficial 
to the bulbs to remove the florets after the 
flowers have withered. Plant 5 inches deep.

RANUNCULUS 
The large double flowers are carried 
on tall graceful stems, they are unex- 
celled for cut flowers. Few flowers so 
easy to grow, will give such a profusion 
of bloom for such a small investment; 
each bulb produces about a dozen flow- 
ers over a long period. 
Ranunculus may be planted any time 
during the year in warm climates; early 
spring in northern states. Soak 2 or 3 
hours in water; plant two inches deep 
in a sunny location. Ranunculus should 
be planted with claws pointing down.
