ANEMOXE JAPONICA (Japanese Windflower). 



These beautiful Windflowers are one of the most important hardy plants. While they begin 

 blooming early in August, they are more especially valuable on account of their continuing in 

 full beauty until cut down by hard frost. All are excellent for cutting, lasting in good condition 

 for many days in a cut state. The plants grow 2 to 3 feet high, are perfectly hardy if given the 

 protection of 2 or 3 inches of leaves or litter during the winter, and, while they respond freely to 

 liberal feeding, they will succeed in any ordinary garden soil, increasing in beauty from year to 

 year. They can be used in solid beds or borders or clumps planted through the hardy border, 

 which they brighten up during the late fall months.
