ANEMONE JAPONICA. 



Japanese Windflower. 



These are among the most beautiful and valuable Hardy 

 Perennials; highly ornamental in foliage and blooming 

 continuously and freely from August until frost. The 

 flowers are large, exceedingly chaste and pure in color, 

 on long stems and wonderfully graceful; surpassing even 

 in refined beauty the Cosmos and unsurpassed for cutting. 

 Although the Japanese Anemones are hardy, it is well to 

 give them a slight protection in winter, as they are some- 

 times damaged by cold in severe winters when unpro- 

 tected.

 of two distinct sets of petals and are of a most beautiful 

 satiny-rose color.
