BARR & SUGDEN’S COMPENDIUM 
leaves, or old tan ; but the covering must be removed before the plants appear. In April and May, during 
dry weather, water the beds freely twice or thrice each week, and when the flower-biul appears water 
daily, and continue doing so while the plants are blooming : but be careful to wet the foliage as little as 
possible. 
Ranunculus 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 Hammer and autumn 
blooming plants.

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 foliage is elegantly serrated, and the growth 
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 effect. 
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 will bloom in succession 
during the early Spring months, while those planted in February and March will bloom from April to June. 
The Single Anemone (Wind Flower), with its beautiful poppy-like blossoms, may be bad in bloom at 
pleasure (weather permitting) from February to December, and, in sheltered nooks, even in January, by 
simply arranging the time of planting. 
Culture. — The Anemone delights in a light rich loamy soil, but generally sucoeeds in any which is 
well drained. Sea-sand, or a little salt mixed with the soil, is a good preventive of mildew ; in other 
respects, the culture and after management should be precisely the same as that of tire Ranunculus.
