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.
