TWO UNUSUAL ANEMONES 
O NE of the most unusual and odd plants in the garden 
last spring proved to be Anemone pulsatilla or Euro¬ 
pean Pasqueflower. Bluish-purple flowers from woolly buds 
and attractive seed pods. Small plants are cute in appear¬ 
ance with small blossoms the first year, but at its best after 
the second year when plants reach a height of 12 inches. 
There are two of these plants in a garden a few miles out 
of Rochester. A man of Italian birth stopped there last 
Spring and was attracted by the unusualness of their 
blossoms and olfered to purchase one of the plants. The 
owner of the garden, said the plants were very rare and 
did not care to sell one of them. Whereupon the man offer¬ 
ed her a barrel of whisky for one of the plants, which she 
also refused. The plant is not rare, but is attractive and 
unusual. You will find it listed —Anemome pulsatilla —on 
page It is not priced, so the cost, as with other items 
where the price is not given, is 25 cents each, or 3 for 60c. 
Hupehensis is the other Anemone which proved so satis¬ 
factory, but it is a Fall-blooming variety. It grows 12 to 
14 inches high and produces an abundance of mauve-rose 
flowers ijT inches across, from early August until late 
Autumn, at a time when good blossoms are scarce in the 
rock garden. Also listed on page 5.
