>^yJ! T was with delighted eyes I saw the Japanese herba- 

 lJ^9 ceous Anemones in so many, many gardens last Autumn. 



There is now so numerous a family of these interesting, 

 ^^□ii decorative and uncommon flowers that to give you a 

 k i >Mh J complete list of its members may be helpful, and I 



hope every amateur gardener will plant the entire 

 family of these Japanese Anemones. 



Alice rose, carmine-flushed lilac. 



Autumn Queen deep rose (new). 



Brilliant crimson- rose. 



Coupe d'Argent .... double. Purest white. 



Enchantment pearl white flushed, under petals pink. 



Geante Blanche the Giant White Anemone. 



Kriemhilde vivid lilac red (new). 



Lady Ardilaun single paper white. 



Lord Ardilaun double white. 



Loreley lilac rose, semi-double. 



Mont Rose flowers very large, of a delicate pink tipped carmine. 



Prince Heinrick very large, deep pink. 



Queen Charlotte .... silvery pink, semi-double. 



Rosea Superba fine silvery rose. 



Vase d'Argent pure white, under petals rose pink. 



Whirlwind large and snowy white. 



This is every variety that I am acquainted with, and just at 

 this moment I can recall but one nursery that supplies all of these 

 varieties of Japanese Anemones. 



If you cannot secure pot-grown plants or roots for late Sep- 

 tember planting, wait until Spring, but have the bed prepared 

 this Autumn. It should be deeply dug and enriched with one- 

 third the amount of rotted manure to two-thirds of good soil, with 

 a powdering of lime all over the surface in the early Spring, then 

 worked into the soil. 



Do not confuse these hardy herbaceous Japanese Anemones 

 with the bulbous St. Brigid and French Anemones.
