ACONITUM. Monkshood. When the del¬ 
phiniums are past their best, the Monks¬

sirable blue in the garden. They are shade- 
loving plants, and some of them bloom so 
late that they provide an excellent foil for 
the earlier chrysanthemums. They are 
better after they have been planted several 
years, because they resent interference.

Anemone • Windflower 
Japanese Anemones are among the best autumn-flowering 
plants, requiring a light protection of leaves in the winter. Besides 
being exceedingly useful for the hardy border and for front 
planting of shrubbery in a semi-shaded position, they are also 
adapted for naturalizing in the open woods and fine for cutting 
and decorating purposes. The best time to plant Anemones is in 
May, as soon as danger of heavy night frost is over. We grow 
them in 2 to 3-inch pots in greenhouses, because they give much 
better results when planted out than field-grown plants. A 
mixture of leaf-mold, peat, and ordinary garden soil is suitable.
