ANEMONES. Various Beautiful Species. Anemone apennina, the blue Mountain Wind- 
flower, forms a dense cushion of rich blue, and is one of the loveliest of dwarf Spring flowers. 
Where Daffodils are naturalised this and A. blanda should be freely planted. A. blanda resembles 
A. apennina in flower, but blooms a month earlier. The varieties of Anemone nemorosa (The 
Wood Anemone) literally carpet the ground with their charming flowers ; being shade-loving plants 
they should be planted under trees or in shady nooks on rockwork. A. nemorosa Robinsoniana is 
remarkably beautiful. All are exceedingly charming established on rockwork, or as pot-plants.
