Carters’ “ Empress ” Poppy Anemones. 
The flower* are 
of immense size 
(measuring four 
inches in dia- 
meter) and great 
substance, in- 
valuable for cut- 
ting and decora- 
tive purposes 
generally ; and 
the very mode- 
rate price at 
which they are 
offered admits of 
their being ex- 
tensively used 
for the decora- 
tion of the shrub- 
bery border, 
where a con- 
stant and bril- 
liant display can 
be produced. 
The following 
opinions will be 
read with in- 
terest : 
" ‘ Empress ’ Anemones. — We have received from Messrs. James Carter & Co. a bouquet of what they term their ‘ Giant Empress Anemone.’ They are 
truly gigantic forms and brilliant varieties of Anemone coronaria, and are strikingly beautiful. Several of the flowers are 4 inches in diameter, borne on stalks 
nearly a foot long and almost as thick as our penholder. The colours are varied and rich, ranging from white through the different shades of lavender to deep 
purple, and from pale red to glowing scarlet and velvety crimson. They are the finest Single Anemones we have ever seen, and such flowers as these before us 
would be an acquisition even to the garden of an Empress .” — fournoU of Horticulture, 
“ It gives me great pleasure to speak of the value of Carters’ ‘ Cockade ’ 
Bauunculus and ‘ Empress ’ Poppy Anemone — they are really splendid.” 
J. Albrighton, Esq., Tamworth. 
“Carters’ ‘ EmpreBs/^Poppy Anemones were beautiful last year.” — M rs. 
Francis, March. 
“Carters’ ’Empress,’ Anemones have been lovely.” — Miss Hassall, 
Gravesend.

Cultivation of tne Anemone. — Soil : For pot culture, use a compiost of good pasture loam, we)l*rotted cowdung, and sea or drift sand, which should be well incorporated, and 
examined for the extirpation of wire-worm or other obnoxious grubs. For border culture, any good garden soil will suffice, provided it be well drained and moderately light ; for pots we prefer 
that the pots should be half filled with the above rich compo.st, then a layer of pure sandy loam, on which to place the tubers, and cover two inches deep with the .same. 
Time of Planting. — Fur a good succession it is advisable to plant a few in September, the principal bulk in October, and a third lot early in March, which will insure a succession o. 
bloom up to the middle of June. If planted in November, the roots are liable to be injured by frost before they have commenced their growth. 
Culturo In Pots.— Use the compost before alluded to, place the pots in a cool pit, and sparingly water until growth commences : in the Spring they may be removed to the greenhouse 
or window, but will not bear too high a temperature. They are subject to mildew ; a good preventive is to mix sea sand with the compost, or, if that be not procurable, a little salt ; 
ammoniacal liquor, very much diluted, is a good application after infection has taken place.
