DOUBLE-FLOWERED ANEMONES. ”' / . 
Cultivation. — The Anemone, or “Windflower,” forms by 
far the most spleudid aud iuterestiug group of our tuberous-rooted 
flora, and although, perhaps, not quite so chaste and elegant iu the 
form of its individual llowers as the Ranunculus, it certaiuly sur- 
passes it iu its fiue effectiveness as a decorative plant. Grown in 
large or small beds, in patches, clumps of one colour, or mixed, they 
make charming groups amongst, and contrast finely with, most 
other plants, whilst the brilliant scarlets and fiery reds are 
exceedingly telling, when planted in double lines as an edging 
to large or small beds, shrubbery borders, &e. The Anemone is 
also invaluable as a pot plant for the decoration of the greenhouse 
or conservatory in early Spring, and is very useful as a cut-flower, 
besides being extremely hardy aud easy of cultivation. The 
Anemone prefers a light rich loamy soil with a fair amount of 
moisture, and out of doors will succeed well with the same kind 
of treatment and soil as recommended for the Ranunculus, but 
any good garden soil that is not too heavy or wet will grow 
them well, and with but a small amount of trouble. For early 
Spring blooming plant from September to November inclusive, 
and for Summer and Autumn flowering plant in February, 
March, and April. The tubers may be planted at a depth of 
about three inches, and at a distance of about five or six inches 
between the plants. For greenhouse or conservatory decoration, 
the tubers should be potted in October, and placed in a cool pit 
or frame till February, when they should be brought into the 
cool greenhouse, placed near the glass, and gradually brought 
into bloom. When it is desirable to take up roots from the 
open ground after flowering, they should, if possible, be allowed 
to remain till the leaves show signs of decay, when they may be 
carefully lifted, and gradually dried or ripened for replanting at 
some future date.
