partial shade, with sufficient water to keep 
the plants from suffering during dry 
weather. The plants form mats a foot or 
more across, of heavy dark green foliage. 
Its pure white, anemone-like flowers are

taking on a pinkish tint, finally turning 
light green. When the plants bloom early 
in the winter they usually produce another 
crop of bloom early in spring. Eor a charm¬
