- The varieties of this species are very common and graceful 
ornaments in gardens. Leaves finely or broadly dissected. 
Flowers purple, blue, violet, lilac, yellowish, white, or varie- 
gated, single or double; sepals oval or orbicular. See Weinm. 
figures cited above. 
Anemone coronaria is a well known florist flower, valued for 
its hardy nature, and also because it will flower at almost any 
season, according to the time the roots are kept out of the ground, 
and the season when they are replanted. Many new varieties 
have been raised from seed, but they are not named by florists, 
as in the case of Tulips and Pinks. The prevailing colours are 
red, white, and blue; and semi-double flowers are in nearly as 
much repute as double ones. A root which has remained in the 
ground two or three years will attain a great breadth. They are 
increased by dividing the roots. The soil preferred by the Ane- 
mone is a fresh loam rather heavy than light. The usual time of 
planting is in October, covering the roots three inches; but to 
have earlier bloom, they may be planted in the beginning of Sep- 
tember, and to have bloom every month in the year, plant every 
month. The finer sorts require protection from violent storms 
and excessive light and heat; but many varieties do exceedingly 
well in borders. A very severe winter will destroy the roots if 
the surface is not mulched, but the Anemone is considerably 
hardier than the garden Raninculus. 
In order to obtain new varieties, seeds should be saved from 
fine single or semi-double kinds ; and sown in shallow pots, or 
boxes filled with light rich earth, in August, covering them a 
quarter of an inch thick with the same kind of earth, and when 
the plants rise, care should be taken to protect them from the 
frost. In the following season, when their leaves begin to decay, 
they should be taken up and dried, and afterwards planted out in 
borders in the same manner as the old roots ; and in the follow- 
ing summer they will produce flowers.

An. de Crete, &c. Easily distinguished from An. Coronaria by 
its very acute sepals. Flowers variable in colour.
