The Blue Winter Wind-Flower. 
(Anemone Blanda Robusta.) 
A new star on the Florai Firmament that is destined to bea 
great favorite It was discovered in Asia Minor and it has proved 
to be a perfect gem and is so highly spoken of by the authorities 
in horticulture that we cannot describe it better than by giving 
extracts from their pens: 
From ‘* The Garden.’’ ‘‘ A truly charming spring flower as early as the 
Sncwdrop and Snowflake, and it brightens our borders with its lovely sky—blue 
flowers long after these spring heralds are past. It producesa larger succession 
of bloom than any of its allies and from the middle of December in the house 
until late spring in the garden it isa continual source of interest; hardy as arock.”’ 
From the ‘* Gardener's Chronicle.’ ‘* This earliest of all Anemones has 
been very beautiful this spring. A patch in our garden makes a thoroughly 
spring picture. It is a gem and the earliest spring flower in the open air; 
commencing the last week in January in open winter.” 
From W. £. GumBLETON: ‘‘ I consider this the earliest and largest flowered 
of the spring blooming Anemones and among the most beautiful and desirable 
of all the ornaments of the hardy spring garden. A lot of 150 roots received 
from the collector in Smyrna are now (March 7, 1891) 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 ccerulean blue and some of the flowers have a large and clearly defined 
pure white centre. Most of the flowers are as large as a crown piece (i}¢ in. 
across.) The important fact, that ot these lovely plants coming into bloom 
quite a month or six weeks before any other Anemone, greatly adds to their 
vaiue, and no spring garden should be without them.” 
From ** The Gardener's Magazine.” ‘* What a lovely thing it is! This 
early spring flower is a great favorite. We like to see it spreading about in 
big clumps, growing freely and giving no trouble. It wants planting deeply in 
light sandy soil and then to be left alone. The flowers vary in intensity of color.”’ 
From Max LicuTiin: “If potted at intervals from August to September 
and housed afterwards in the greenhouse they may be had in flower from 
November to February.” 
FROM OUR COLLECTOR IN SMyRNA: ‘‘Please note that the 
Anemone Blanda [ am supplying you this year is a very fine form 
I have just discovered and should be christened Anemone 
Blanda Robusta. Its superiority over the older forms is in the 
larger flowers and smaller leaves. I consider it a great improve- 
ment. Colors the same.” ;
