New Anemones for 1935 
The anemone flowers consist of one or more rows of flat or tubular ray 
florets with shorter quilled or tubular disc florets of the same or a distinct color 
and may be grown either disbudded or in sprays according to their adaptability. 
This type is becoming more popular year by year as they justly deserve. This 
is especially true with those of repute as artists in floral arrangements. 
The large flowering anemone types are usually pinched when small, per¬ 
mitting four to six growths to continue until buds are formed. Then the plants 
are disbudded to one flower to the growth making more serviceable flowers for 
the arrangement of baskets and other floral designs. The recent introductions 
are marvelous for their beauty and surpass the older varieties in size. These 
should be given full consideration by those who are looking for something 
artistic and unusual.
