with management, they may be had in bloom for many months. The unnamed hybrids quoted 
we specially recommend, as they are from the best collection in Europe, and are sure to please, 
both as regards variety, beauty of colour, and size of flowers. 7 'he bulbs we offer are of lar"C 
flowering size, and will bloom the first season. 
Culture. — Immediately after potting, place in a moist warm temperature, and plunge the pot 
to the rim in a gentle, steady, moist bottom heat ; thus treated, a vigorous leaf-growth is produced, 
and a strong stem with a fine umbel of large flowers secured. In the absence of bottom heat they 
do well in an ordinary greenhouse or sunny sitting-room window.

ANEMONE, or WINDFLOWER. (See also Novelty List, page 4 .) 
For brilliancy of colour few flowers can compare with the Anemone, which in Spring pro- 
duces its masses of bloom in endless variety of shades, scarlets , crimsons , roses, blushes , lilacs , blues y 
purples , and white , all of which for cutting are valuable, lasting long in water. For beds, edgings, 
and masses, in the borders it is matchless, and may be had in bloom, weather permitting, from 
November to July, according to situation, locality, and time of planting. 
Culture. — Any good soil, moderately well drained, suits the Anemone. Plant in succession 
A. cor on aria varieties from October to May, the roots four to six inches apart, at a depth of two to 
three inches, choosing a dry day, and when the ground is in good working condition. The plantings 
for Summer and Autumn-flowering should be in a situation where the ground is moists and in shade 
from the sun's rays after 10 or 1 1 a.m . , and well sheltered from cutting ground winds. In districts 
which suffer badly from Spring frosts, plant in December or January. 
A planting of Anemones should always be made both Autumn and Spring. If grown 
as pot-plants, put three tubers in a four-inch pot, and plunge out of doors for a few weeks, when 
remove to a shallow cold frame or on top shelf of greenhouse, close to glass, to prevent drawing.
