ANEMONES. 



NONE of the spring flowers surpass the Anemone in brilliancy of color and 

 profusion of bloom. They are very lasting, and have of recent years become 

 very popular for cut-flower use and for table decorations. The florists now buy 

 thousands of them to force. Plant in October or November, six roots in a six-inch 

 pot or bulb pan, covering them one inch. They may be kept in a cellar or frame 

 protected from frost until spring, when they may be placed in the greenhouse or 

 window to bloom.
