BARR & SUGDEN'S COMPENDIUM 



leaves, or old tan ; but the coverinr/ must be ramotd before, the phmts appear. In April and May, during 

 dry weather, water the beds freely twice or thrice each week, and when the flower-bud appears water 

 daily, and continue doing so whOe the plants are blooming ; but be careful to wet the foliage as little as 

 possiljle. 



Kanimculus roots are so remarkably cheap, that we should recommend (except in the case of named 

 varieties) immediately they have done blooming, to dig up the beds and put in the summer and autumn 

 blooming plants. 



PAXTONIAN CHEAP DOUBLE PERSIAN RANUNCULUS. 



These are composed of varieties we have selected from several extensive collections, on account of their 

 laj-ge handsome flowers, briUiant colours, and adaptation for massing, bedding, clumping, and ribboning.

THE ANEMONE. 



Amongst the diversified forms of floral beauty which enrich the flower garden, from the first opening 

 blossoms of Spring to the last rose of Summer, the Anemone takes a very prominent place, possessing 

 many points of interest and special characteristics of colour. Its blossoms are of the most dazzling hues 

 of scarlet, purple, and blue, self coloured and striped. The fohage is elegantly serrated, and the gro^vth 

 is neat and compact, so that in beds, groups, ribbons, or as an edging to Tulip or Hyacinth beds, arranged 

 either in distinct colours or mixed, they produce a unique efi:ect. 



The flowers of the Double Anemone are extremely handsome ; they have outer guard petals, re- 

 sembling a semi-double Hollyhock. If planted from October to December they ■iviU bloom in succession 

 during the early Spring months, while those planted in February and March will bloom from April to June. 



The Single Anemone (Wirtd Flower), with its beautiful poppy-like blossoms, may be had in bloom at 

 pleasure {weather permitting) from February to December, and, in sheltered nooks, even in January, by 

 simply an'anging the time of planting. 



Culture. — The Anemone delights in a light rich loamy soil, but generally succeeds in any which is 

 well drained. Sea-sand, or a little salt mixed with the soU, is a good preventive of mildew ; in other 

 respects, the culture and after management should be precisely the same as that of the Kanunculus,
