ANEMONE, or Windflower. 
For brilliancy of colour few flowers can compare with the 
Anemone, which in Spring produces its masses of bloom 
in endless variety of shades ; all are valuable for cutting, 
lasting long in water. 
Culture. —Any good soil, moderately well drained, suits 
the Poppy Anemone. Plant in succession A. coronaria 
varieties from October to April, the roots four to six inches 
apart, at a depth of two to three inches, choosing a dry day 
and when the ground is in good working condition. In April 
and May, during dry weather, give them a good watering 
two or three times a week, and when the flower buds appear 
water them daily if necessary. In cold, bleak, or low-lying 
districts it is advisable not to plant before January and to 
cover the beds lightly with straw litter or cut evergreen 
branches until the plants are well in leaf and danger from 
severe frost is past. We recommend the Poppy Anemones 
to be lifted each year after the foliage has died down, and 
the roots kept dry until they are replanted.
