Anemones 



"Windflowers." These lovely flowers are deservedly popular. 

 With an exceedingly wide range of color and color combinations, 

 and an adaptability for both forcing and outdoor planting, the 

 Anemone is a most useful and satisfactory flower, the plants 

 thrive best in a rather rich, sandy loam, but will do well in most 

 any well drained garden soil; they are easily forced when given 

 the same culture as hyacinths or tulips, "soaking the tubers be- 

 fore planting hastens the blooming." We offer the following 

 varieties: St. Bridged, Double Mixed; De Caen, Single Mixed, 

 and Hollandia, Single Red. 



All the above varieties at #1.50 per doz.; #10.00 per 100.

IRIS FILIFOLIA "WEDGWOOD." It is best described as 

 a rich delph blue — standards and falls — a yellow blotch at the 

 top of each fall enhancing its beauty. Its early blooming quali- 

 ties and large flowers on strong stems make it an exceptional cut 

 flower. Very scarce.
