For brilliancy of colour few flowers can compare with the Anemone, which in spring produces its 
masses of bloom in endless variety of shades, scarlets, crimsons, roses, blushes, lilacs, blues, 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, richly manured soil suits the Anemone. Plant in succession 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. In cold, bleak, or low-lying districts it is advisable to cover the 
beds lightly after planting with long litter or cut evergreen branches until the plants arc well in leaf, and 
danger from severe frosts is past. In April and May, during dry weather, water the beds freely, two or 
three times a week if necessary, and when the flower buds appeal' water daily if required. The Spring 
plantings are best made in semi-shady situations. The roots should be steeped in water for 6 hours 
before planting. 
BARR’S DOUBLE POPPY ANEMONES. The flowers resemble semi-double Hollyhocks, and are very 
handsome.
