ANEMONES. 



(WiiKlflower.) 



Japanese Varieties. 



The varieties of Ane- 

 mone Japonica are among 

 the most desirable of our 

 hardy perennial plants. Com- 

 mencing to flower in August, 

 they continue to increase in 

 beauty until cut down by heavy 

 frost late in the fall, 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 new h.irdy peren- 

 nial plants pleased us so much 

 last summer as this grand new 



Anemone, which we consider the greatest acquisition in this class of plants for 

 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 than these. 

 The flowers, which are large, semi-double, frequently measure 4 inches across 

 and are of that pleasing shade of pink peculiar to the La France Rose, a color that 

 is not often met with in hardy perennials. Awarded a certificate of merit by the 

 I'enna. Horticultural Society. (See cut.) 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



doupe D'Argeilt. Another new variety, with very large double creamy-white 

 flowers; entirely distinct from Whirlwind, the flowers assuming a semi-globular 

 shape like an incurved Chrysanthemum. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 



•Japonica Alba. Pure white, yellow centre and dark eye. 



— ICleg'anS. Carmine, yellow centre, dark eye. 



— I^ady Ardilauil. A pure white variety, with broad, overlapping petals. 



— Whirlwind. A semi-double form of, and in general style and habit identical 

 with, the white Anemone. Even more free-flowering than the original type. 

 The flowers, which are 2^ to 3 inclies across, have several rows of pure white 

 sepals, and have the advantage of lasting much longer than the single varieties. 



15 cts. each; §1.50 per doz., except where noted. Set of 6 Japanese Anemones, $1.00.
