ANEMONE ^^^^^ Flower) Ready in September 



One of the most beautiful and showy flowers, exceedingly brilliant in 

 color. Plant in October or November, four or five inches apart and cover 

 one inch deep in a moist, rich, well drained soil, and then if well pro- 

 tected by leaves or litter, very beautiful flowers may be expected. Make 

 the soil rich and water frequently in the spring. 



If the weather is hot when anemones are in bloom, shade in day time 

 and cover the ground with mulching to prevent the soil from becoming dry. 



The bulbs inay be kept till spring, when, if planted early, they will do 

 well. For forcing indoors, put three or four roots in porous, rich soil in a 

 five-inch pot. Keep the pots in a cool situation until the roots are well 

 started, when they jnay be removed to the place where they are desired 

 to bloom. Anemone prices iJiclude postage.

 bloomed and their beautiful, delicately colored flower clusters always 

 attract attention. Fill a 5 or 6-inch pot with sandy loam, insert six or 

 eight bulbs, covering them about an inch deep. Place the pots in a 

 cool, moderately damp place, where they will not freeze, and give but

 cultivated in the favorable soil and climate of Bermuda, until it sur- 

 passes the type in strength, size and luxuriance of plant and flower.

 profusion. This variety is particularly well adapted to shallow pots 

 and hanging baskets because of its long blooming period.
