ANEMONE FULGENS. 
The Scarlet Starry Windflower of the Pyrenees. 
This beautiful early Spring flower should be used largely in wild gardens, orchards, wood¬

permitting, from early in the New Year ; its hardiness is beyond all question, and the roots may 
be safely planted any month from August to February, in a position protected from ground 
winds and with a sunny or S.W. aspect. It likes a well-drained rich soil (not too damp). Never 
plant while the ground is wet.
