HARDY PEREMNIAL PLANB

Dreer's Japanese Anemones (Anemone japomca). 



These beautiful Windflowers, three of which are sliown on the plate opposite, 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.
