JAPANESE VAREETIES. 



(^See colored iUustiation of Queen Cliarlotte on tJte front cover of tJiis 

 catalogue.^ 

 The varieties of Anemone Japonica are among the most desirable of 

 our hardy perennial plants. Commencing to flower in August, they 

 continue to increase in beauty until cut down by heavy frost late in the 

 fail, frequently flowering as late as the middle of November. They 

 delight in well-enriched soil, where they can be liberally supplied with 

 water during hot weather. 



Queen Charlotte. Nothing in the way of hardy perennial plants 

 has pleased us more the past few summers than this grand new An- 

 emone, which we consider the greatest acquisition in this class of 

 plants in many years. The plant is of strong, robust growth, much 

 more vigorous than any of the old varieties, and commences to 

 flower at least four weeks earlier. The flowers, which are 

 semi-double, frequently measure 4 inches across and are of th.U 

 pleasing shade of pink peculiar to the La France Rose, a 

 color that is not often met with in hardy perennials. Our 

 artist gives a very faithful representation of this beautiful va- 

 riety on the front cover of this catalogue. No collection of 

 hardy plants is complete without it. Awarded a certificate of 

 merit by the Penna. Horticultural Society. (See cut.) 15 cts. 

 each; §1.50 per doz.
