ANEMdNE (Greek, M'iK(J). BaniinctdAceo'. Anemone, 

 or Anemony. Windfloweb. A genus of about 85 spe- 

 cies, with many handsome garden forms; all hardy per- 

 ennials ; chiefly native of the north temperate and 

 mountainous regions. Stems usually erect, with great 

 variation in height. Basal leaves lobed, divided or dis- 

 sected, those of the stem forming an involucre near to, 

 or remote from, the flower. Sepals few or many, petal- 

 like; no true petals. Stamens many, shorter than sepals. 

 Carpels numerous ; fruit a 1-seeded akene. 



The plants thrive best in a fresh, rather rich, sandy 

 loam, well drained; but most of the .species will do well 

 in any good garden soil. The tuberous species are suit- 

 able for hardy borders, wliile most of the others prefer 

 a place in a rockery. :iii<l sonic- :\rv partial to shady places. 

 A. hortensis, coroiuiriu . /»/;;. hn and others will well 

 repay the little indue. r or griM'iili.iu.se care they require 

 for producing winter blossoms. They require essentially 

 the same handling as tulips and hyacinths, and are usu- 

 ally classed with bulbous plants. Tubers placed in pots 

 In Sept. or Oct. bring forth a beautiful show of bloom by 

 Jan. or March. For this purpose tli. y slmulil 1m- well 

 drain(-il. and not krpt vi-ry 

 wetortni,w;i™i bt-furc the 

 growth is well started ; 

 they prefer more moisture 

 at flowering time. Nearly 

 all the species can be read- 

 ily propagated liy both root 

 division and si-i-d. The 

 season for both out and 

 indoor planting will di- 

 rectly influence the flower- 

 ing season. Good seasons 

 for outdoor planting are 

 Sept., Oct.. Nov., Dec, 

 Feb. and March. As a 

 rule, the tuberous Anem- 

 ones will blossom at any 

 time desired, being influ- 

 enced by the time they are 

 kept out of the ground. 

 The bulbs may be ripened 

 after flowering time by be- 

 ing taken from the ground 

 to dry. or by covering the 

 bi-d to k.-.-p"out rains. A. 

 Jitpotiirii is one of the fin- 

 est of all fall-blooming 

 herbs. Pritzel, Revision
