Anemones 
These lovely fall-blooming Anemones are somewhat 
difficult to establish and are worthy of some special at¬ 
tention in their culture. Anemones dislike an exposed, 
wind-blown location, extreme heat, and clay soil. A 
mellow garden soil to which leaf-mold and thoroughly 
decayed barnyard manure has been added is best. 
A background of evergreens or a wall is also desirable. 
Growing plants from pots planted in May or early June 
will give good results. Winter covering of leaves and 
evergreen branches should be applied in late Novem¬ 
ber. Do not uncover too early. 
SEPTEMBER CHARM. (Bristol Nurseries, Inc., 
19J2.) A very lovely addition that will prove valuable 
because it is in full flower by September 20, early enough 
to escape the injurious frosts of New England. The indi¬ 
vidual llower is of medium size, 2 inches or more in 
diameter. Delicate silvery pink, shaded with rose and 
mauve, a beautiful color mass when grouped. Height, 
2 feet. Illustrated in color on page 13. 
SEPTEMBER QUEEN. (Bristol Nurseries, Inc., 
1935.) A desirable semi-double variety that will appeal 
immenselv to those who like the old favorites. Rubra or 
Prince Henry. It is an improvement on both, being 
earlier, more erect in habit, and ever so much more 
free in flowering. The color is an attractive shade of 
rosy red. In full flower September 15. It supplies an 
effective bit of color. Height, 2 feet. 
♦SEPTEMBER SPRITE. (Bristol Nurseries, Inc., 
1933.) A miniature Anemone producing myriads of 
single flowers resembling Hupehensis in form, but 
smaller and more dainty. Due to its neat, compact 
habit and extreme freedom, it will be very useful in the 
garden or rockery if planted closely in group effect, 
three or more plants to a cluster. In color it is a pretty 
blending of soft pink and rosy mauve. Flowering in 
early September, it will prove a charming addition to 
this group. Height, 1 foot.

$3.50 per doz.
