Little Bulbs f 



or 



ANEMONE 



Exceedingly brilliant and showj' flowers. 

 Plant in October or November, four or five 

 inches apart. Cover one inch deep in moist, rich, 

 well drained soil. If well protected by leaves or 

 litter, very beautiful blossoms may be expected. 

 Make the soil rich, and water frequently in the 

 spring. 



The bulbs may be kept till spring, when, if 

 planted early, they will do well. For forcing in- 

 doors, put three or four roots in porous, rich soil 

 in a five-inch pot. Keep in a cool situation until 

 the roots are well started, when they may be re- 

 moved to the place where they are to bloom.

Small bulbs are especially suited for use among 

 creeping and other low growing plants in a 

 rock garden. They are at their best in groups 

 so that they give a natural mass effect. Later, 

 the foliage dies down, other flowering plants 

 hide any unsightliness, and the bulbs can be left 

 to themselves until they bloom again ■
