Anemones 
Anemone, September Charm. Early enough to escape frost 
These lovely fall-blooming Anemones 
are somewhat difficult to establish and 
are worthy of some special attention in 
their culture. Anemones dislike an 
exposed, wind-blown location, extreme 
heat, and clay soil. A mellow garden soil 
to which leaf-mold and thoroughly de¬ 
cayed barnyard manure has been added 
is best. A background of evergreens or a 
wall is also desirable. Growing plants 
from pots planted in May or early June 
will give good results. Winter covering 
of leaves and evergreen branches should 
be applied in late November. Do not 
uncover too early, and if a few little ever¬ 
green branches can remain over the plants 
until mid-May it will prevent spring 
freezing. New growths may not appear 
until mid-June, so care should be taken 
to leave them undisturbed until that time 
SEPTEMBER CHARM. (Bristol Nur¬ 
series, Inc., 1932.) A very lovely addition 
that will prove valuable because it is in 
full flower by September 20, early enough 
to escape the injurious frosts of New 
England. The individual flower is of 
medium size, 2 inches or more in diameter. 
The color is a delicate silvery pink, shaded 
with rose and mauve, presenting a beauti¬ 
ful color mass when grouped. Extremely 
free and attains an average height of 2 
feet. September Charm is the progeny of 
Hupehensis crossed with Japonica, Queen 
Charlotte, combining earliness and free¬ 
dom of the first parent with the fine color 
and larger flower of the Japonica type. 
SEPTEMBER QUEEN. (Bristol Nurseries, Inc., 
1933.) A desirable semi-double variety that will 
appeal immensely to those who like the old favorites, 
Rubra or Prince Henry. It is an improvement on 
both, being earlier, more erect in habit, and 
ever so much more free in flowering. The color 
is an attractive shade of rosy red. In full 
flower September 15. It supplies an effective bit 
of color when it is needed. One of the best for 
cutting. 
SEPTEMBER SPRITE. (Bristol Nurseries, Inc., 
1933.) A miniature Anemone producing myriads of 
single flowers resembling Hupehensis in form, but 
smaller and more dainty. Due to its neat, compact 
habit and extreme freedom, it will be very useful in 
the garden or rockery if planted closely in group 
effect, three or more plants to a cluster. In color it 
is a pretty blending of soft pink and rosy mauve. 
Flowering in early September, it will prove a charm¬ 
ing addition to this group.

Stokesia, Laevis lilacina grandiflora. Excep¬ 
tionally large flowers 
Phlox, Salmon Glow 
Jules Sandeau X Elizabeth Campbell 
Bristol Nurseries, Inc., 1932 
Lively flame-pink, with salmon shades, softened with 
lilac and white tints at the center, the effect as a whole 
being a rich salmon. This new variety is not only extremely 
free but, like its parent Jules Sandeau, it improves with 
age. Three- and four-year-old plants produce perfectly 
huge trusses from early July throughout the season. 
35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz. Extra-heavy plants, 50 cts. 
each, $5 per doz. 
Stokesia, Laevis lilacina grandiflora 
Quite distinct from the well-known S’, cyanea. The 
color is a very attractive shade of silvery blue with a 
lilac-blue suffusion at the center. Flowers are very large, 
often 5 inches across, and can readily be cut with stems 
18 to 20 inches in length. Flowers freely and is a very 
useful all-purpose plant. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz.
