ANEMONES (Windflower). 



The varieties offered below are charming hardy spring 

 flowers, and are becoming better known and more popu- 

 lar as a garden flower. Both double and single are 

 equally desirable, and no garden should be without them. 

 They are suitable for pot or border culture, and when 

 planted in masses are most effective. They succeed best 

 in a light, rich, well-drained loam. Plant in October or 

 November, or as soon as the giound can be worked in 

 the spring. If planted in the autumn, they should be 

 covered with leaves, straw, or long manure on the ap- 

 proach of winter. For pot culture, fill with any rich, 

 porous compost, with good drainage, planting 4 roots in 

 a 5-inch pot; place in a cold frame, or any moderately 

 cool situation, giving very little water until the plants ap- 

 pear, then remove to greenhouse (ir sitting-room window.
