New Anemones for 1936 
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, permitting four to 
six growths to continue until buds are formed. Then the plants are disbudded to one flow¬ 
er 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. 
ANTIGO. A new tone of color among the Anemones. Purplish crimson, both ray florets
