For its culture, it requires a good depth of w rich garden soil. From October to December is the best period for plant- ing (and in the early Spring months for succession), in drills across the bed two inches deep, and each drill six or eight inches apart. After planting the tubers firmly with the claws downward, cover them with one inch of sand previous to the final cover of soil. As a protection from severe frosts, the beds may be covered with a good layer of dry tan, litter or leaf mould. The Ranunculus forms its roots near the surface, and therefore is unable to withstand a dry and parched soil; hence it is essential to water them freely.
