removed ; or if it is necessary to increase the stock, the roots 

 may be broken into pieces about one inch in length every 

 second year. 



j4nemone nemorosa flore pleno. This is the double 

 white form of the ordinary Wood Anemone. It is easily 

 cultivated on the same plan as recommended for A. blanda ; 

 being white it is not so effective as the others mentioned 

 here, but is useful for corners in shrubbery borders and for 

 planting along woodland walks. 



j4nemone coronaria, King of Scarlets. This variety 

 flowers later than any of the preceding, and is not always so 

 easy to grow ; where it flourishes it is very useful, as it 

 comes into flower just after A. fulgens is over, and like it is 

 very useful for cutting and for garden decoration. It is 

 subject to attacks of fungus at the roots, and should never 

 remain more than two years in one place. 



All the above varieties of Anemone are great favourites 

 with pheasants, which eat both the flowers and the roots. 

 It is useless to attempt to grow them where these birds 

 have free access. 



Anemone hepatica (syn. Hepatica triloba). Under 

 this name are included some of our prettiest spring flowers. 

 They vary in colour from white to red, and blue of various 

 shades, and there are single and double forms of all of them. 

 They succeed best in a light, warm soil, which should also be 

 rich and deep ; a warm climate like Kent or Surrey suits them 

 better than places north of London. They should remain 

 for ten or twelve years undisturbed, and will then form fine 

 clumps and give a great profusion of flowers in early spring ;
