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 while the ground is wet.

ANEMONES, Various Beautiful Species for Autumn Planting. Where 
Daffodils are naturalised the following Anemones 
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 Anemone), being 
shade-loving plants, should be under trees or ' in 
shady nooks on rock work ; 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.
