BARR’S GENERAL BULB CATALOGUE, Autumn, 1912. 
ANEMONE, or Windflower. 
For brilliancy of colour few flowers can compare with the Anemo.ve, which in 
Spring produces its masses of bloom in endless variety of shades ; all are valuable for 
cutting, lasting long in water. 
Cui-TURE.— Any good soil, moderately well drained, suits the Poppy Anemone. Plant in 
succession A. coronaria varieties from October to April, 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. In April and May, during dry weather give them a good watering two or three times a 
week, and when the flower buds appear water them daily if necessary. The Spring plantings for 
Suntnter and Autumn flowering should be in a situation where the ground is moists and shaded 
^roni the suns rays after lo or il a.m.^ and the roots should be steeped in water for six hours before 
planting. In cold, bleak, or low-lying districts it is advisable not to plant before December, and to 
cover the beds lightly with long litter or cut evergreen branches until the plants are well in 
leaf, and danger from severe frost is past.
