GROWING SAINT BRIGID ANEMONES 

 FROM SEED 



^ There has been such an amazingly wide-spread 

 demand for the bulbs (or tubers) of anemones 

 owing to the extraordinary increase in their 

 culture, that I underhand the supply is prac5tically 

 exhau^ed. Therefore if we wish to have them in 

 abundance we will have to grow our own ^ock 

 from seed, which I am happy to be able to tell you 

 may be obtained from several reliable firms. 

 ^ While I dare say we may always secure ** here 

 or there " a few anemone tubers, we can never, 

 never grow these exquisite flowers in the big, 

 abundant manner we wish, unless it is by way of 

 seed 53 S& 



^ Formerly we could purchase a hundred tubers 

 for about two dollars. Now they are six and seven 

 dollars a hundred. And what is a hundred of 

 them? Why a hundred only makes us eager for 

 more — and more. We may have them by the 

 thousands if we will grow them from seed.
