leaves, or very rotten manure. The last is preferable, 

 as it would in part enrich the soil. 



Anemones and Ranunculus ought to be protected by a

 above will answer. It is not necessary that the frame 

 should be covered with glass, close boards will answer

 from frost. When they are dry, divest them of their 

 foliage and fibres. When perfectly dry, pack them in

 of the former agreeing with this treatment, but certain
