ANEMONE JAPONICA (Japanese Windflower). 



These beautiful Windfloweis, which we illustrated in colors in our Gaulen Book last year, 

 are one of the most important suljjects among haidy plants. While they begin blooming cai iy 

 in August, they are more especially valuable on nccount of iheii continuing in full beauty until 

 cut down by hard frost. All are excellent for cutting, la>ting in good condition for many days 

 in a cut state. The plants grow 2 to 3 feel high, are perfectlv hardy if given the protection of 

 2 or 3 inches of leaves or litter during the winter, and, while ihcy res| ond freely to liberal 

 feeding, they will succeed in any ordinary gaiden soil, increa>ing in beauty from year to year.. 

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

 they brighten up during the late fall months.
