ANEMONES- 



I The Beautiful 

 I Wind Flowers. 



Highly ornamental spring and summer flowering plants, having both single and double 

 flowers, the colors of which are wonderfully beautiful, running through all shades of blue, scarlet, 

 lose, 'white, lavender, etc. When grown in masses they are brilliant in the extreme. If the 

 flowers are wanted in succession from spring to fall — the roots should be planted in pots or cold 

 frames in the fall for spring blooming — and another lot in the same way towards spi ing for Sum- 

 mer — and another lot in the open ground in May for autumn flowering- -the latter planting 

 should be in a partially shaded situation where the ground is moist. Anemones are also splendid 

 ior pot culture, for flowering in the house or conservatory during winter.

 Blanda A new variety destined to great popularity. It was discovered in Asia 

 Minor and it has proved to be a perfect gem. A truly charming spring flower as 

 early as the Snowdrop and Snowflake, and it brightens our borders with flowers 

 long after these are past. It is the earliest and largest flowered of the spring 

 blooming Anemones and among the most beautiful and desirable of all the orna- 

 ments of the hardy spring garden. A lot are now (March 7) in full bloom, and 

 when fully opened on a bright, sunny forenoon are exceedingly beautiful. No 

 two are exactly alike but comprise almost all possible shades from pure white to 

 deep coerulean blue and some of the flowers have a large and clearly defined 

 pure white centre. The flowers are r54 inches across. It is a lovely variety 

 and as hardy as a rock. It spreads itself in large clumps, grows freely and needs 

 no special care or attention. It should he planted deeply in light sandy soil. 

 If potted at intervals from August to September and housed afterwards in the 

 greenhouse they may be had in flower from November to February. (See cut.)
