This handsome species of Anemone is nearly 
related to Anemone pulsatilla ; its flowers, how- 
ever, are less nodding than those of pulsatilla, 
they are also less spreading. It is abundantly 
covered with long silky hairs, but in vain does the 
utilitarian ask — why? He may ask with the 
poet, 
“ Why knows the Nightingale to sing ? 
Why flows the Vine’s nectarious juice ? 
Why shines with paint the Linnet’s wing ? 
For sustenance alone ? for use ? ” 
For use P it may be again asked. No, not all for 
use. The bountiful hand of Nature is not confined 
merely to dispensing the objects of our necessity, 
she pours forth materials of pleasure every where 
around us, and pitiable is the lot of him who is 
incapable of enjoying them. 
This truly beautiful Anemone requires but to be 
planted in a rich soil, and left undisturbed, to make 
a splendid show. The finest plants are raised 
from seed, which should be sown soon after it is 
gathered.
