ANEMONES ( Windflower). 
The varieties offered below are charming hardy spring 
flowers, and are becoming belter known and more popu¬ 
lar as a garden flower. Both double and single are 
equally desirable, and no garden should be without them. 
They are suitable for pot or border culture, and when 
planted in masses are most effective. They succeed best 
in a light, rich, well-drained loam. Plant in October or 
November, or as soon as the giound can be worked in 
the spring. If planted in the autumn, they should be 
covered with leaves, straw, or long manure on the ap¬ 
proach of winter. For pot culture, fill with any rich, 
porous compost, with good drainage, planting 4 roots in 
a 5-inch pot; place in a cold frame, or any moderately 
cool situation, giving very little water until the plants ap¬ 
pear, then remove to greenhouse or sitting-room window.
