ON THE ANEMONE. 
WITH AN ENGRAVING OF JOSEPHINE AND AZURE INCOST PAR A BLE. 
Though there are many flowers which at this particular 
season have claims on our notice, yet we have been induced to 
select the Anemone from among the numerous beauties intended 
to embellish our work, because we wish, as far as is practicable, 
to suit our illustrations to the season ; and because this is super¬ 
eminently a flower adapted alike for the veriest tyro, the 
general cultivator, and the more select collection of the florist; 
in short, no garden is efficiently stocked without them; and 
yet, though they may be found in the majority, we frequently 
hear and receive complaints of the partial or entire failure of the 
bloom of this flower; having this in view, we have thought it 
might prove acceptable to our friends who are cultivators, to 
offer a few hints on the general management and method of 
growing this ornament of our flower borders. The most valuable 
property of the Anemone is that a bloom may be had of it at 
almost any part of the year : this makes it particularly desiiable 
for the early spring beds or borders of the parterre; and by a 
continued or varied planting, a succession of its brilliant floweis 
may be secured from the earliest period of solar influence till
