Peacock Anemone. These Starry-flowered Single Anemones are remarkable for variety of brilliant 
colours, elegant flowers, and graceful foliage. A light well-drained soil in a warm sheltered 
situation suits them best ; on rockwork they look charming ; they make good pot-plants, six roots 
in a pot, and are valuable as cut flowers. Plant in October and November. p 100 p. dor.

ANEMONE fulgens, The Scarlet Starry Windflower of the Pyrenees and Greece. This 
beautiful early Spring flower with its rich dazzling scarlet colour and light elegant growth 
should be used largely in wild gardens, orchards, woodlands, on banks, etc. If planted early 
in Autumn, flowers may be gathered, weather permitting, from Christmas ; its hardiness is 
beyond all question, and the roots may be safely planted any month from August to February, 
in a position protected from ground winds and with a sunny or S.W. aspect. It likes a 
well-drained rich soil (not too damp). Never plant the roots while' the ground is wet.

ANEMONES, Various Beautiful Species for Autumn Planting. Where 
Daffodils are naturalised the following Ane- 
mones should be freely used : — Anemone 
apennina, the blue Mountain Windflower, 
forms a dense cushion of rich blue and is 
one of the loveliest of dwarf Spring flowers. 
A. blanda resembles A. apennina in flower, 
but blooms a month earlier. The varieties 
of Anemone nemorosa (the true Wood Ane- 
mone), being shade-loving plants, should be 
under trees or in shady nooks on rockwork ; 
naturalised in grass they present a picture 
full of grace and beauty. A. palmata likes 
a damp spot during summer. For other 
beautiful Anemones, see our Hardy Plant 
Catalogue.
