THE ANEMONES 
The Anemones, or Wind-flowers, are among the 
lovelier of spring beauties, although one, A. 
japonica, graces the autumn. They thrive won¬ 
derfully in border or rockery, and some kinds in 
woodlands. The chalice-like blossoms are often 
set in soft ruffs of downy green, and after the 
petals have fallen, iridescent silken seed tassels 
will prolong the charm. 
Plants bloom in one year. Seed sown in late 
autumn usually germinates strongly the follow¬ 
ing spring. If sown in spring or summer it may 
come fairly quickly, or it may lie dormant until 
the following spring. crbl8.
