A Bed of Japanese Windflowers 



ANEMONE JAPONICA (Japanese Windflower). 



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

 ting, lasting in good condition for many days. The plants grow 2 to 3 feet high, are perfectly hardy if given the protec- 

 tion 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 during the late fall months.
