ANEMONE JAPONICA (Japanese Windflower). 
These beautiful Windfl> vers are one of the most important hardy plants. While they begin 
blooming early 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 in a cut state. The plants grow 2 to 8 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 borcer, 
which they brighten up during the late fill months.
