ANEflONES. 



These charming hardy spring flowers are becoming better known and more 

 popular as a garden flower. Both double and single are equally desirable,

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

 soon as the ground can be worked in the spring If planted in the autumn, 

 they should be covered with leaves, straw, or long manure on the approach 

 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
