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 cutting, 
lasting in good condition for many days. 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 during the late fall months,

Aquilegias, or Columbines. 
The Columbines are one of the most elegant and beautiful of hardy plants, producing their graceful spurred flowers on 
stems rising 2 feet or more above the beautifully divided foliage. 
Columbines should be planted wherever their presence will serve to lighten up a too stiff and formal planting, for no other 
plant has so airy a grace as the Columbine, is more generous of its blooms, or more effectively adapted for cut flowers, 
They are not at all particular as to soil or location, although they prefer a sandy loam and a moist but well drained, sunny 
position, and usually make themselves at home in any hardy border or rockery. Their period of flowering covers the late spring — 
and early summer months. Taken as a whole, they are a most important part of the hardy garden, and should be grown in 
quantity by every lover of old-fashioned garden flowers.
