manent of the Mad worts, as it 
lasts year after year in good, 
suitable soil. It grows about a 
foot high, having bright yellow 
flowers in May I.15 
AMIANTHIUM. See Zygadenus. 
ANCHUSA ital ica. A fine peren¬ 
nial, with blue or purple flowers in 
June ; 4 feet high and branching. 
Nice for back border or among 
shrubbery.15 
A. officinalis (A. incarnata ). Has 
a profusion of small pretty, flesh- 
colored flowers.15 
ANEMONES. Belong to the natural 
order of RanuncuLacecs , or Crow¬ 
foot family, constituting an exten¬ 
sive genus, many of which are 
very attractive, hardy perennials 
for cultivation. A rich, sandy 
loam, moist but well-drained, is 
what they like ; yet, for these, 
any good garden soil seems to 
. suit. The border is the most suit¬ 
able place, or some may be used about rockwork to good advantage. They 
also make good pot-plants. 
Anemone sylvestris. (See page 4.)

A. stramineum. This Siberian Wild Onion grows about 2 feet high, soon 
forming, by division, large clumps of bulbs, bearing 
globular heads of light rose flowers. Pretty when grow¬ 
ing, but this and the other two species named have a 
strong onion odor. July.06 
A. tricoccum. This is our common Leek or Wild Onion, 
which sends up its wide green leaves in early spring; 
these soon die down, and later in summer the bulb sends 
up a bare stalk of white flowers.06 
ALTH/EA rosea (Hollyhock), var. 
Single. The most permanent and 
hardy of this species. This affords a 
most striking effect when placed against 
any deep green object, like an evergreen 
hedge. They are pretty among shrub¬ 
bery, and will last for years when once 
established. Summer. 
Double. Best mixture of colors.
