Choice Hardy Perennials 
Anemones 
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 decayed barnyard 
manure has been added is best. A back¬ 
ground 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. 
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. Delicate silvery 
pink, shaded with rose and mauve, a beautiful 
color mass when grouped. Height, 2 feet. 
SEPTEMBER QUEEN. (Bristol Nur¬ 
series, 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 at¬ 
tractive shade of rosy red. In full flower 
September 15. It supplies an effective bit of 
color. Height, 2 feet. 
Anemone, September Charm. Early enough to escape frost 
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 charming addition to 
this group. Height, 1 foot.
