autumn-flowering hardy herbaceous perennials. The 
plants begin to flower early in August, and continue 
until cut down by frost. The flowers are about 1 l A

Japonica alba, which is supposed to be a cross between 
this beautiful variety and A. Japonica rosea. In 
general style and habit it is identical with the white 
Anemone. It is of the same strong habit of growth, 
and is even more free-flowering than the original type. 
The flowers, which are a'A to 3 inches across, have 
several rows of pure white sepals, and have the advan- 
tage of lasting much longer than the single varieties.
