ANEMONE or WINDFLOWER 
Anemones thrive wonderfully in border or rock garden, 
and some kinds in woodland. The chalice-like blossoms are 
often set in soft ruffs of downy green, and after the petals 
have fallen, iridescent silken seed-tassels will, in many 
species, prolong the charm. Plants bloom in one year. Seed 
sown in late autumn usually germinates strongly the fol¬ 
lowing spring. If sown in the spring or early summer, 
it may come fairly quickly, or it may lie dormant until 
spring has come again. 
32 ANEMONE BLAND A—ryt(l)5. The plants, for such 
compact little dwarfs, carry surprisingly large blossoms, 
these usually of brilliant blue, gold centered. Upon occasion 
though, it will vary to soft pink, white or purple. It 
flowers at the touch of the first south wind of spring.

21 ANEMONE DECAPETALA ROSEA—crby (2-3) 16. Of

pure deep rose, carried in great sheafs. In April and May 
there will be six weeks of splendid bloom, with scattered 
flowers all summer and fall. This is A. decapetala, Ard.

CERTAIN UNUSUAL ANNUALS 
Ten vividly decorative annual flowers, all easily grown, 
with no need for particular skill, but kinds nevertheless 
that are far enough from the ordinary to add the touch of 
distinction to your garden. Greater value than ever, $1.45

pias curassavica, and Cuphea Avalon Hybrids. Ten gor¬ 
geous beauties ; look up the descriptions in this catalog. No

TEN SPEEDSTER PERENNIALS* 
Here are delightful perennial flowers, winter-hardy and 
enduring, that will come into bloom almost as soon as the 
annuals. Sow the seed reasonably early in the spring, and 
the plants should be in full flower by midsummer of the 
first year. Not only that, but, being perennial, the same 
plants will bloom again the next year, and for many years 
to come. They may be sown in late spring or summer also, 
but of course then there will be few flowers the first season. 
All are excellent hardy border or rock garden species. Look 
up the catalog descriptions. We will send one packet each 
of Scutellaria baicalensis, Lepachys Maroon and Gold. Glau- 
cium Peerless Hybrids, Verbena bippinatifida, Malva mos- 
chata, Anchusa affinis, Papaver pilosum, Platycodon Early 
Giant, Scabiosa ochroleuca and Erodium manescavi, $1.40 
listed separately, for only ONE DOLLAR in the collection. 
No changes. Order as OFFER 3A9. 
ANNUAL FLOWERS—If you want quick annual 
flowers, choose those with a star (*) before the 
variety name. Annuals, of course, bloom one season 
only, and must be sown afresh each year. Where 
the star follows the name, it indicates hardy and 
enduring perennials, that will, nevertheless, flower 
first season if sown early.
