ANEMONE 



One of the most beau- 

 tiful and showy flowers, 

 exceedingly brilliant in 

 color, of neat and com- 

 pact growth, and with 

 foliage elegantly cut. It 

 IS not quite so hardy as 



many other bulbs, but if planted m Octo- 

 ber or November, four or five inches 

 apart and covered three inches deep in a 

 moist, rich, well drained soil, then, well 

 protected by leaves and manure, success 

 can confidently be expected. A northerly 

 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 ^vith 

 cheese cloth or mosquito netting at about 

 three feet above them, or cover the 

 ground with moss 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 repay your care. Prices include 

 postage.
