JAPANESE ANEMONE 
Japanese Anemones 
ANEMONE JAPONICA 
(Windflowers) 
The Japanese Anemones are some of the 
most valuable perennials we have, blooming 
as they do from August into winter, and 
being adapted to planting in shady places, 
where it is often difficult to get other 
flowers to grow. Our new improved varie¬ 
ties have much larger, waxy flowers than 
the older types and they are produced in 
great profusion in masses on tall stems 
above the dark green glossy foliage. They 
make most beautiful beds and are excellent 
for cutting.

flowers. La France pink. 
CRESTED PINK. New hybrids, of lovely pink 
shade with centers made up of smaller petals, 
surrounded by large graceful outer petals.

Begonia 
The Semperflorens or Everblooming type 
of Begonia is without an equal for bedding, 
low borders and edging. The flowers are 
of the brightest colors and are borne in 
great profusion continuously. While they 
succeed admirably in the full sunshine in 
most localities their greatest value is to 
give color to the shady beds and marginal 
plantings. 
The Gracilis type has more slender stems 
and does not usually grow as tall as the 
typical Semperflorens.

ALBERT MARTIN. Bright carmine-red, very 
large flowers. Plant tall and strong growing.

CARMEN. (New). Bright rose flowers carried 
in clusters well above the deep bronzy purple 
leaves, which are so beautiful to warrant grow¬ 
ing for foliage alone. Extremely free flowering, 
the blossoms contrasting beautifully with the 
foliage. An outstanding variety for pot plants 
or for group planting. 
LUMINOSA. The most popular red-flowering 
variety for borders. Bronze foliage. 
PRIMA DONNA. Brilliant clear pink shading to 
rose. Strong growing. 10-14 inches.

light green foliage. The unopened buds have a 
tint of pink when grown outside in sun.

in a half shady place.

and freedom of flower makes them unexcelled.
