ST. BRIGID OR POPPY ANEMONES. 
Nothing could exceed the beauty of these new and now 
widely popular Irish anemones. They are perfectly hardy, 
and bloom profusely year after year, throwing up flower 
stalks one to two feet high. The colors embrace all the 
bow shades and tints, and even black, white and green. Many 
flowers are mottled, while others are striped edged or ringed, 
as partially shown in the illustration. The flowers are large, 
reaching two, three or even four inches in diameter. If 
the seed be sown early in rich soil, there will be a liberal 
vield of flowers the first season until well after frost, and 
the plants will bloom the next season in greater profusion 
than ever. These beautiful anemones are unsurpassed for 
cut flowers, as they will remain fresh in water for a week 
or more. ‘The foliage is fern-like and graceful. The 
plants will bloom in the house in winter, in a very satis- 
factory manner and enliven any collection of winter 
blooming plants in which they may be grouped. Strong 
roots, 10 cts. each; 3 for 25 cts.; 90 cts. per dozen, postpaid.
