BARR’S GENERAL BULB CATALOGUE, Autumn, 1908. 
ANEMONE fulgens, The Beautiful Starry Windflower of the Pyrenees, etc. This, 
with its rich dazzling scarlet flowers, and light elegant growth, is the most brilliant and 
graceful of all Winter- and Spring-flowering Anemones, and should be used largely in wild 
gardens, orchards, woodiands, on banks, etc. The cut flowers are invaluable for table bouquets 
or vases, as they last a long time in water. 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. Anemone fulgens likes a well-drained rich soil (rather dry by 
preference). Never plant the roots while the ground is wet. per 100 per doz.

carpet the ground with their charming 
flowers; being shade -loving plants, they

beauty. A. nemorosa Robinsoniana is remark-
