18 Alpine Plants. 
Anemone palmata (S.W. Europe). 
Plant this species in a shady place on the flat, 
facing south, in a deep soil of leaf-mould and peat 
in equal parts together with a dash of loam. Place 
the tubers 2in. below the surface and make the 
soil fairly firm. 
Anemone palmata alba (S.W. Europe). 
This variety requires quite different treatment 
from the type. Plant in a sunny, well-drained 
position in ordinary loam. In February, or before 
the leaf appears, top-dress with loam and sand in 
equal parts. 
Anemone patens lutea (N. Europe, etc.). 
Treat like Anemone Pulsatilla. 
Anemone polyanthes (Himalayas). 
Plant on the edge of a bog in partial shade 
where the roots and crowns will be dry in winter, in 
a compost of two parts of good strong loam, one of 
fibrous peat and one of leaf-mould, but without 
any sand. In wet weather the plants should be 
occasionally inspected, as, owing to their woolly 
character, the leaves and crown are very liable to rot 
under any accumulation of fallen leaves. 
Anemone pratensis (N. Europe, etc.). 
Valuable in the rock-garden, as it is quite as easy 
to grow as Anemone Pulsatilla and follows it in 
bloom. Plant on a sunny bank, sheltered from the 
north, in deep sandy loam, as in an exposed situation 
the flowers are often dried up by the late frosts and 
cold winds.
