Fic. 41, ANEMIA TOMENTOSA. 
ied SS a eS 
ANEMONE. Including Hepatica and Pulsatilla. Of 
the seventy species comprised in this genus, the great 
majority inhabit the temperate, frigid, or mountainous 
regions of the Northern hemisphere; a few are found in 
South America and South Africa, and one is a native of 
Australia. 
Florists have made great strides with Anemones, and 
the various strains now upon the market are not a little 
bewildering to those who wish to take up these charming, 
hardy flowers. Most improvement is noticeable in the 
spring flowering kinds, for which there is great demand 
alike by the garden-loving public and those who grow 
for market. Even this section is not restricted to spring, 
for by planting successional batches the season may be 
prolonged considerably. The autumn- flowering section 
has also been added to, several varieties of good substance 
being the result. 
Varieties of A. coronaria, both single and double, are 
now very numerous, the most distinct being the Double 
Chrysanthemum-Flowered kinds. These have beautifully 
imbricated petals, and remind one forcibly of the Chrysan- 
themum-Flowered Asters. Then there are the Great 
French Poppy Anemones, found in a beautiful range of 
colours; and the very free-flowering strain, known as the 
St, Briar ANEMONES.

St. Brigid Anemones (see Fig. 42) which are characterised 
by large, mostly semi-double flowers. Seed from these 
last should be sown in boxes in early spring, and trans- 
planted as soon as they are large enough. By sowing 
at intervals these charming flowers may be had over a 
long season. Cutting winds in spring are very damaging 
to Anemones, and this should be borne in mind when 
planting. 
A. fulgens has now several well-marked varieties— 
flore-pleno, grxca, and Leichtlinii, being the most note- 
worthy. This species is still one of the most brilliant of 
early flowers and may be had in blossom in January. For 
this the roots would need to be planted in autumn. A 
second display could be obtained by planting a further 
batch in spring. It must be remembered that a some- 
what shaded position must be assigned these plants, 
more particularly those required to flower in summer. 
A. fulgens, providing it has a suitable warm soil, which
