WILD FLOWEKS 

 THE ANEMONE 



The Canada anemone (Anemone canadensis)is a Northern 

 species with a coarse stem. The leaves are broad, sharply 

 toothed, and three-cleft. 

 The under surface of the 

 leaf is hairy. It grows in 

 low ? moist ground along 

 the banks of streams and 

 on prairies. It may be 

 used as a border plant in 

 the open or at the foot of 

 rockeries, where it will 

 obtain an abundance of 

 moisture. The plant grows 

 from one to two feet high 

 in heavy, black soil and, 

 when once established, 

 spreads rapidly. A num- 

 ber of the plants in a 

 cluster, with their large 

 white flowers, make a 

 very pretty appearance. Transplant roots in the fall or 

 early in the spring when the soil is moist.
