seeds, sown as soon as ripe, or in spring. The 

 awned Anemones, with the exception of coronaria, 

 are often long in germinating. The tubers of the 

 tuberous-rooted species can be divided when large 

 enough, while the others can usually be propagated 

 by division when of sufficient size. The species 

 with roots like those of Anemone japonica may be 

 propagated by root cuttings put in pots or boxes in 

 spring, and placed in gentle heat. 



Soil. A good garden soil will answer for the 

 greater number. The Wood Anemones, nemorosa,

ANEMONE. (WIND FLOWER.) 



Description. Highly ornamental garden plants 

 (ortl. Ranunculaceas). Almost all the species are 

 greatly valued for the beauty of their flowers, and 

 for the usefulness of their blooms for cutting. The 

 genus includes plants suitable for almost any posi- 

 tion, and of much variety of form, colour, and 

 stature. Some of the Anemones are among the 

 earliest of our garden flowers, while others give 

 blooms until they are cut off by frost. 



Propagation. Nearly all can be propagated by 



(see Anemia). 



n. robinsoniana, etc., like a rich sandy soil ; blanda 

 ought to have a heavier one, approaching to clay : 

 and japonica flourishes on one of a heavy nature also. 



Principal Species : 



alpina, 1', My., wh. A vary handsome plant for 

 a moist border or the base of the rockery in full 

 sun. The leaves are beautifully divided. 



angulosa, 9", Feb., Mch., bl. Better known as 

 Hepatica angulosa. It prefers shade, and a soil 

 which is not too dry. There are scarce wh. and 

 pk. varieties. A form which is rather inclined to 

 make suckers does not flower as freely as the one 

 which increases slowly at the root. 



apennina, (>", Mch. and later, bl., ro., or wh. A 

 very pretty Windrlower, which does well in peat 

 and under trees. A capital thing to naturalise in 

 a wood or dell. 



blanda. 6"', winter and early spring, bl. or wh. 

 A charming early plant. It comes very early, and 

 should have a sunny sheltered place. There are 

 several varieties, that named scythinica being 

 among the best. Heavy soil.
