Very valuable for winter 

 blooming. The large clusters of 

 white flowers keep in condition 

 for several weeks. Place four to 

 six bulbs in a 5-inch pot in well 

 drained, sandy loam, and start 

 into growth at once. In potting, 

 place a little charcoal or broken 

 pottery for drainage, then fill the 

 pot with soil and shake it down 

 but do not pack it. Plant the bulb 

 just deep enough that its top will 

 not show. Keep in the full sun- 

 light, and when the plants start 

 give plenty of water. 2 for 5 cents; 

 25 cents per dozen; ^1.25 per 100, 

 postpaid. 



ANEMONE 



(WIND FLOWER) 



One of the most beautiful and showy flow- 

 ers, exceedingly brilliant in color, of neat and 

 compact growth, and with foliage elegantly 

 cut. It is not quite so hardy as many other 

 bulbs, but if planted in October or November, 

 four or five inches apart and covered one 

 inch deep in a moist, rich, well drained soil, 

 and then is well protected by leaves and ma- 

 nure, very beautiful flowers may 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 with cheese 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 w^ell. For forc- 

 ing indoors, put 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.
