A/N EMO/N ES. 



These charming hardy spring flowers are 

 becoming better known, and more popular as 

 a garden flower : both double and single arc 

 equally desirable, and no garden should be 

 "without them. They are suitable for pot or 

 border culture, and when planted in masses 

 are most effective. They succeed best in a 

 light, rich, well-drained loam. Plant in Octo- 

 ber or November, or as soon as the ground can 

 be -worked in the spring. If planted in the 

 autumn, they should be covered with leaves, 

 straw or long manure on the approach of 

 winter. 



For pot culture, fill with any rich porous 

 compost, with good drainage, planting 4 roots 

 in a 6-inch pot ; place in a cold frame, or any 

 moderately cool situation, giving very little 

 water until the plants appear, then remove to 

 the greenhouse or sitting-room window.
