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 occupies a very prominent place, possessing 
many points of interest and special characteristics of colour. Its blossoms are of the most dazzling hues 
of Bcarlet, purple, and blue, self coloured and Btriped. 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 had 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 succeeds 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 the Ranunculus.

CYCLAMEN. 
Charming winter and spring blooming tuberous-rooted plants, many of them as remarkable for the 
beautiful variegation of their foliage as for their flowers, which are the personification of neatness, 
chasteness, beauty, and grace. In a finger glass, a lady’s bouquet, or a gentleman’s button-hole, no 
flowers elicit so much marked attention and admiration as do the Cyclamen. Their culture is very 
simple; all the varieties will succeed in a sitting-room window, a cool greenhouse or conservatory, 
placed close to the glass. The varieties of Atkinsii, Coum, Gnecum, Hedersefolium, Repandum, and 
Vemum are perfectly hardy as regards cold ; but should have a little shelter against cutting winds and 
the hot sun. When planted in the open border, a situation possessing these advantages should be 
chosen. The soil should be removed, and rubble to the depth of a foot to eighteen inches should be put 
in, and on this a nice compost of a few inches of vegetable soil, loam, and sand. The bulbs planted and 
left to themselves will grow freely, and established masses will give an abundance of flowers. Grown 
in pots the simplest protection that can be afforded by a frame will be ample, taking care that the 
drainage is well attended to as they are most impatient of moisture at the roots. When in growth they 
should have plenty of moisture overhead ; indeed, all Cyclamen cultivated in pots, when growing freely, 
should be syringed at least twice a day.
