ASTILBE OR SPIREA. 



Astilbe, or Spirea Japonica. 



(Ready in November.) 



This universal favorite is of 

 easy cultivation, whether 

 grown in the garden or in pots 

 for house or greenhouse de- 

 coration. For the latter pur- 

 pose it is exceedingly effective. 

 Its white, feathery-like flowers 

 so profusely produced, are un- 

 surpassed for beauty and deli- 

 cacy. For pot culture the 

 clumps should be potted in six 

 to eight inch pots, according to 

 size, as soon as received, and 

 until well rooted should stand 

 in a rather cool place; after- 

 ward removed to a higher tem- 

 perature if early bloom is re- 

 quired. When planted in the 

 garden no special treatment is 

 required. 



If by mail, add 10 cents extra 

 for each root.

ANEMONE. 



If by mail, add 15 cents per 100. 



The Anemone is fully entitled to the distinc- 

 tion it receives, occupies a foremost place among 

 greenhouse flowering bulbous plants. It bears a 

 profusion of beautiful flowers of various colors. 

 Although not quite so hardy as many of our 

 bulbous plants, it may nevertheless be very suc- 

 cessfully grown if planted early in October, tak- 

 ing care to set it about three inches deep in the 

 ground and, when cold weather sets in, having a 

 good covering of straw or leaves put over it. As 

 the bulb keeps well in a dry state, it may be kept 

 thus until spring and, if planted early, will prove 

 very satisfactory.
