ANTHONY WATERER—This beautiful gem makes a low, com- 
Pact bush and is covered nearly the whole growing season 
with large umbels of deep crimson flowers which measure nearly 
a foot across. When scarcely three inches high it begins to 
bloom, and therefore is seldom out of flower. As a pot plant 
or for growing in the open ground, nothing can equal it. Per- 
fectly hardy, it is unquestionably one of the really meritorious 
plants that we cannot have too many of.
