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 any ordinary greenhouse or sunny sitting-room window. On the South Coast of England and in many 
parts of Ireland and the West Coast of Scotland, these beautiful Amaryllises may be grown outside, 
under south walls, planted one foot beneath the surface, and protected with litter or leaves during winter.

ANEMONE, or WINDFLOWER (See also Novelty List , page 3). 
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 soil, moderately well drained, suits the Anemone. Plant in succession A. 
coronaria 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 moist, and in shade 
from the sun s rays after 10 or n a.m., and well sheltered from cutting east winds. If grown as pot- 
plants, put three tubers in a four inch pot, and plunge out of doors for a time.
