For brilliancy of colour few flowers can compare with the Anemone, which in 
Spring produces its masses of bloom in endless variety of shades j all aie valuable for 
cutting, lasting long in water. 
Cui.TURE. — Any good soil, moderately well drained, suits the Poppy Anemone, I lant 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 dower buds a|ipear water them daily if necessary, fhe Spring plantings for 
Summer and Autumn flowering should be in a situation where the ground is mots f and shaded 
from the sun's rays after loom 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.
