Anemones 
These lovely fall-blooming Anemones are 
somewhat difficult to establish and are worthy 
of some special attention in their culture. 
Anemones dislike an exposed, wind-blown 
location, extreme heat, and clay soil. A 
mellow garden soil to which leaf-mold and 
thoroughly decayed barnyard manure has been 
added is best. A background of evergreens or a 
wall is also desirable. Growing plants from pots 
planted in May or early June will give good 
results. Winter covering of leaves and ever¬ 
green branches should be applied in late 
November. Do not uncover too early.
