Anemone • Windflower 
As a last greeting of autumn, these gay 
flowers appear in wondrous brilliancy and 
produce a wealth of bloom until cut down 
by hard frost. Plants vary from 2 to 3 feet 
high, and are ideal for cutting. The flowers 
appear in August and remain till frost. They 
require winter protection, which amply re¬ 
pays one for the extra trouble taken.
