^ To conserve your ^tock of tuberous anemones 

 they mu^ have a little care as to their ripening, 

 that is the foliage, at lea^ a fair amount of it, 

 should be left on until the yellowing ^age arrives, 

 ju^ as is the pracflice with lilies, tulips, etc. Then 

 they should be taken up and stored in the same 

 way as gladioli corms. 



^ Naturally should you border your rose beds 

 with anemones, you will not care to have their 

 yellowing foliage remain to detracft from the 

 fresh beauty of your roses. So in this case 

 therefore the anemone tubers can be lifted before 

 they are ripened sufficiently to ^ore away, to 

 make room for other bordering plants. But they 

 should be allowed (to retain their foliage) to 

 complete their absolutely essential ripening by 

 merely moving them to some obscure part of 

 the garden, planting them in rows, a few inches 

 apart and four inches deep, until the foliage turns 

 yellow. This seems rather unnecessary work, since 

 as I have said you may always have as great (or 

 small) a collecftion of St. Brigids as you desire by 

 growing them from seed, ju^ as you would grow
