THE ANEMONE, OR WINDFLOWER. 
Anemone flowers embrace scarlets, roses, blues, and purples of the most dazzhng hues als 0 the purest 
white, and endless variations in stripes. The habit of the plant is excellent, and the foliage e tegant. For ^beds, 
edgings, and masses, where Spring flowers are grown it is matchless, and may be had in ‘ blo°rn. weather per 
mitting from November to July, according to situation, locality, and time of planting. For naturalization and 
wild gf Merit is of great value, and a charming plant in orchards and grass. The graceful Anemone fulgens we 
have seen producing its brilliant blossoms at Christmas and a succession of flowers maintained 
to July. Roots which were planted May, 1882, furnished a supply of cut flowers throughom the Autum "• "j 
snow-white Anemone “The Bride," is a most important introduction, and, as a cut f lower is of ‘ he e re _ a ‘« st 
possible value, the large saucer-shaped, snow-white blossoms, resembling flowers of the ^ 
under glass. Anemone Stellata (the Starry Windflower of the Riviera) is well known as an elegant plant to 
those who have spent a winter at Nice, Cannes, and Mentone. Anemone apennina _(the Blue Mountain 
Windflower), during M^ch and April’ the most charming cushions of blue in the flower border, and its 
white companion, A. apennina alba, is most lovely in masses. Anemone blandais a most important ; ^ eau iled 
resembles A. apennina in flower, but is deeper in colour, and flowers a month earlier If the Anemone is req 
for indoor decoration, after potting plunge the pots to the rim out of doors, and there let them remain till the 
flower buds appear, then remove the pois indoors. ... T , ,.. . 
Culture —Any good soil, moderately well drained, suits the Anemone. In its native habitat it g r ° ' s 
mostly in vineyards and oliveyards, where it is partially protected from the sun s rays and parching winds, the 
most potent enemies of Spring flowers. Plant in succession from August to May, the roots four to six inches 
apart P and at a depth of two to three inches; this should be done when the ground is in good working 
condition and on a dry day. The planting for Summer and Autumn-flowering must he in a situation where 
the ground is moist , and in shade from io or 1 1 a.m. 
NEW DOUBLE POPPY ANEMONES, FOR BEDS AND MASSES.
