The Qlory of the September Qarden 
ANEMONE JAPONICA 
(Japanese Windflower) 
C OMING into flower about the last week in August and lasting until cut 
down by heavy frosts which, in the latitude of Pittsburgh, may not be unt l 
the middle of November, blooms the glorious Japanese Windflower. The 
lovely flowers are about the size of a dollar and are borne in tremendous pro¬ 
fusion on stems 2J/2 to 3 feet tall. Depending on the variety selected, the flower. 5 
may be single, double or semi-double and the colors may be white, pink or red. 
The Japanese Windflowers create not only the finest imaginable effects in the 
September garden but are in addition the finest of all possible cut flowers. 
Because of their habits of growth the Windflowers, though massive, permit 
graceful and delicate flower arrangements avoiding any suggestion of stiffness or 
awkwardness. They have long been a favorite of Mr. Elliott’s and when he was 
practicing landscape architecture he never failed to include them in substantial 
quantities in every garden he designed. The Japanese Windflowers are among 
the truly outstanding perennials.
