ANEMONE FULGENS. 



jHE Anemones, or Woodflowers, form a large family 



of hardy and showy plants for the border. They 



are easily propagated from the seed, and by 



sowing at intervals a succession of bloom may be 



had for the whole season. Forty-nine cultivated 



varieties of this geftus are described in Nicholson's 



Dictionary of Gardening, of which Anemone 



fulgens, commonly known as the Double White 



anemone, is one of the most showy. It is a 



native of Greece in Southern Europe, whence it 



was introduced in 1865 to England, and it is now 



generally sought for. The flowers are " of a dazzling vermilion, with a black 



central patch of stamen about two inches across." The following remarks from 



Wood's Hardy Perennials will be of interest in this connection : 



" It may be grown in pots for conservatory or indoor decoration. Borders 

 or the moist parts of rock work are suitable for it ; but perhaps it is seen to 

 greatest advantage in irregular masses in the half shade of trees in front of a 

 shrubbery ; and, after all, it is impossible to plant this wrong as regards effect. 

 To grow it well, however, it must have a moist situation and good loam."
