ANEflONES. 



(The Beautiful Wind Fowers.J 



Highly ornamenLal spring and summer flowering plants, having both single and double 

 flowers, the color of which are wonderfully beautiful, running through allshades of blue, scarlet, 

 rose, white, lavender, etc. When grown in masses they are brilliant in the extreme. If the 

 flowers are wanted in succession from spring to fall - the roots should be planted in pots or cold 

 frames in the fall for spring blooming — and another lot in the same way towards spring for 

 Summer — and another lot in the open ground in May for autumn flowering — the latter planting 

 should be in a partially shaded situation where the ground is moist. Anemones are also 

 splendid for pot culture, for flowering in the house or conservatory during winter. 



Anemone Double Poppy Flowered. {Coronariafl.pl,) The flowers of this 



class are very double — and are surrounded at the base with large guard petals resem- 

 bling a double Hollyhock — for cutting purposes they are grand, and we know of no class of 

 plants with more gorgeous colors, to or three colors usually being blended in the flowers of 

 each variety. (See cut.) Mixed colors. 3 for 10c; 25c. per doz.; $1.50 per 100. ; or by 

 mail, $1.65. 



Single Poppy Flowered. {Coronaria.) These handsome Single Anemones have 

 large beautiful saucer-shaped poppy-like blossoms, and during mild seasons, or in the 

 sheltered situations, are flowering continuously throughout the winter, spring and early 

 summer. Mixed colors. 4 for 10c.; 20c. per doz.; $i.oo per 100, or by mail, $1.15. 



Fulgens. The rich dazzling scarlet flowers, and light elegant growth, render it the most 

 attractive flower of spring. It is invaluable for cutting, as it lasts a long time in water. 3 

 for 10c.; 35c. per doz.; $2.75 per 100, or by mail, $3.15. 



HARDY ANEMONES. 



These are beautiful for permanent situations where they so on form large clumps of great 

 beauty when in bloom; a situation partially shaded suits them to perfection.

ANEMONE BLANDA. 



A new variety destined to great popularity. It was discovered in Asia Minor and it has proved to be a perfect 

 gem. A truly charming spring flower as early as the Snowdrop and Snowflake, and it brightens our borders with 

 flowers long after these are past. It is the earliest and largest flowered of the spring blooming Anemones and 

 among the most beautiful and desirable of all the ornaments of the hardy spring garden. A lot are now (March 7,) 

 in full bloom, and when fully opened on a bright, sunny forenoon are exceedingly beautiful. No two are exactly 

 .dike but comprise almost all possible shades from pure white to deep ccerulean blue and some of the flowers have a 

 arge and clearly defined pure white cenire. The flowers are 1J2 inches across. It is a lovely variety and as hardy 

 as a rock. It spreads itself in large clumps, grows freely and needs no special care or attention. It should be plant- 

 ed deeply in light sandy soil. If potted at intervals from August to September and housed afterwards in the green- 

 house they may be had in flower from November to February. Price, sc. each; 50c. per doz.; $3.50 per 100.
