duces its masses of bloom in endless variety of shades, scarlets , crimsons, roses, blushes, lilacs, 
blues, purples and white, all of which for cutting are valuable, lasting long in water. 
Culture.— 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 
Summer and Autumn flowering should be in a situation where the ground is moist, and shaded 
from the sun's rays after 10 or 11 a.m., and steep the roots 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.
