^NEMON 



^^ One of the most beautiful and 



showy flowers, exceedingly brilliant in color, of 

 neat and compact growth, and with foliage ele- 

 gantly cut. It is not quite so hardy as many 

 other bulbs, but if planted in October or No- 

 vember, four or five inches apart and 

 covered three inches deep in a moist, rich, 

 well drained soil, and then is well pro- 

 tected by leaves and manure very Beau- 

 tiful flowers may be expected. A north- 

 erly site, protected from the wind and 

 too much sun is the best. Make the soil 

 rich and water frequently in the spring, 

 If the weather is hot when Anemones 

 are in bloom, shade partially in daytime 

 with cneese cloth or mosquito netting at 

 about three feet above them, and cover 

 the ground with moss or other mulch to 

 prevent the soil from becoming too dry. 

 The bulbs may be kept till spring, when, 

 if planted early, they will do well. For 

 forcing in-doors, pot three or four roots 

 in porous, rich soil, in a five-inch pot. 

 Keep the pots in a cold frame or other 

 moist, cool situation until the roots are 

 well started, when they may be removed 

 to the place where they are desired to 

 bloom. Avoid heat and dry air and the 

 rich and various colored flowers will re- 

 pay your care. Prices include postage.
