ASTILBE. Spiraea. 



ANEMONE. Wind Flower. 



Japonicn alba. The beauty and purity of 

 the flowers of this Anemone are mipossible 

 to properly describe or illustrate. Unques- 

 tionably one of the finest autumn flowers; 

 of thrifty habit and neat, compact form. 

 It blooms constantly and profusely from 

 September until frost. The flowers are 

 large, pm^e white with yellow stamens, and 

 ate borne on long stems, appearing as if 

 floating in the aii': exceetlingly chaste and 

 excellent for cuttmg and decoration. Hardy, 

 but benefitted by a covermg of leaves dur- 

 ing winter. Blooming as it does in auttmm, 

 when there are comparatively few flowers, 

 it is especially welcome. A most useful 

 flower for cutting and particularly attrac- 

 tive for the altar. Ea., 15c: 4 for 50c; doz., -81.25.

 and qmte identical with, the preceding except in color, 

 xchich IS pale lilac rose with yeUow center. A charm- 

 ing and dehcate color. Even more beautiful than the 

 preceding, if possible. The two planted as companions produce an effect 

 when m bloom so exquisitely beautiful that the impression on seeing 

 them IS so pleasing anci deep that it can never fade from one's memory-

 pm-ple. The succeeding seed-pods soon split open, ex- 

 posing clusters of fiiiit exactly resembling blackberries, 

 which remain on the plant until winter. They make a 

 flne winter ornament when dried, and are an addition 

 to any bouquet of grasses and immortelles. Perfectly 

 hardy and worthy of a place in any border. Ea., 10c;
