hardy perennials flowering from seed the second year and there- 
after. Produce in abundance large single, semi-double and double 
flowers 3 to 5 inches across, in an endless variety of colors, from 
maroon and brightest scarlet to flesh-pink and from lilac to purple. 
Some are mottled, striped, ringed, etc. For cutting they are ,un- 
surpassed and in the garden they flower until after frost; Anemone 
seed should pena aey, rubbed with sand or fine, friable soil, and 
both seed and soil may be thinly sown over the bed, which, as a fin- 
ish, 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 Ns fi,
