 center. If sown In April or May and treated as a hardy annual the plant: 

 bloom freely the same year. (See illustration on colored plate, page 94. 

 Height 2H feet Pkl. 10c. 



AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII "Boston" or "Japan Ivy' 



1082 A valuable climber. Entirely hardy in the most exposed places, often 

 attaining a height of 20 to 30 feet in two or three years from seed, clinging 

 to stones, brick or wood work with the greatest tenacity. It is a great 

 protection to walls, etc., as the leaves, lapping over each other, shed rain. 

 For covering dead trees, gate posts, boundary walls, etc., it has no equal. 

 In the summer the foliage is a rich shade of green, but in the fall it assumes 

 the most gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson and orange Pkt. 10c. 



ANCHUSA ITALICA 



1087 "Dropmore" variety. A fine, large, hardy, herbaceous plant; 4 to 5 feet 

 high. This nr-w "Dropmore" variety is a great improvement on the type, 

 the beautitul FoTget-JNIe-Not-like flowers being much larger than others 

 and of a- lovely Gentian blue, produced in long, loose sprays. Invaluable 

 for the- hardy border, as flowers are produced during the entire season 

 , and until late in the fall Pkt. 15c. 



ANEMONE 



1092 St. Brigid. These beautiful Irish Poppy-flowered varieties produce^ in 

 abundance large, single, semi-double and double flowers 3 to 5 inches 

 across, in an endle.ss variety of colors, from maroon and brightest scarle* 

 to flesh-pink and from lilac to purple. Some are mottled, striped, ringed 

 etc. For cutting they are unsurpassed and in the garden they flower unti 

 after frost; hardy perennials flowering from seed the second year anc 

 thereafter. Anemone seed should be gently rubbed "\^'ith sand or fine, 

 friable soil, and both seed and soil may be thinly sown over the bed, which, 

 as a finish, should be lightly beaten with the back of a spade. The situa- 

 tion must be shaded from direct sunshine, and frequent watering will be 

 necessary. From seed sown in January or February under glass the 

 plants should begin to bloom in September or October of the same year, 

 and- continue to flower until the following June. Seed may also be sown 

 in June or July for plants to bloom in the succeeding year. (See en-
