CROWFOOT FAMILY 



into such sheets of white blossoms with no distinction of location 

 and no especial regard to sun or shade. Its virtues are so many 

 that the florists' catalogues become positively enthusiastic. 



LARGE-FLOWERED CLEMATIS 



Clematis Jachmdnni. CUmatis Henryi, etc. 



All the Large-Flowered Clematis are hybrids taking either the 

 name of the producer or one that he gives. Jackman's Clematis 

 was named by Mr. Jackman, an English florist, and is believed to 

 be a hybrid of Clematis viticilla, a hardy European species with 

 blue or purple flowers two to three inches across, and Clematis 

 languindsa, a Chinese species, with white or purplish flowers 

 three to four inches across. 



All the large-flowered forms offered by the trade, under whatever 

 name they may appear, are probably either hybrids or variants 

 of these two species, with perhaps a strain of Clematis coirillea, 

 also a Japanese species. 



The entire group is beautiful and worthy of all .that is said in 

 their favor. It must be remembered, however, in planting them, 

 that the vines are valued principally for their bloom, and if abun- 

 dant foliage is desired other forms must be associated with them. 



ANEMONES 



Animone coronaria. Anemone horlensis. Animone japdnica. 



Two of the well-known garden Anemones bloom in the spring; one, 

 Japonica, is an autumn bloomer. 



Poppy Anemone, Anemone coronaria, is one of the spring bloomers 

 whose home' is southern Europe. The roots are tuberous, the stems 

 about eighteen inches high, the leaves ternately compound, and the 

 poppy-like flowers range through reds and blues as well as white. The 

 blossom, like ail the Anemones, is made of colored sepals; the corolla 

 is always absent; the stamens are many and the carpels many. May. 



Garden Anemone, Anemone horlensis, is very like the Poppy Anem- 

 one, possibly not quite so large. The flowers are red, rose-purple,
