ANEMONE or WINDFLOWER 
Anemones thrive wonderfully in border or rock garden, 
land 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. 
21 ANEMONE ALBANA CREAM-YELLOW—ryt(l-2) 10. 
Rather large flowers, upfacing, many of them at even 
height, all of a rich creamy yellow, color of ice-cream 
made for home use on a dairy farm where they have 
Jersey cows. The plants are sturdily upright, compact 
groupings of slender, lightly leafed stems. Pkt. 20c. 
21 ANEMONE CANADENSIS—erstyt(2)15. Foliage mounds, 
with big star-blossoms, many of them, but each on its sin¬ 
gle stem, carried well above. Usually purest white, but at 
times cream-flushed. An attractive species in both flower 
and foliage. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c; % oz. 40c. (Plants, 
divisions, each 25c; 3 for 70c; 10 for $2.00.) 
21 ANEMONE CAROLINIANA ROSEA—crby(2-3)16. This 
is, perhaps, our favorite of Anemones, great sheafs of 
salver-formed blossoms in pure deep rose. Unfortunately 
we harvested little seed of it this year, and we can only 
supply old and new seeds mixed, being mostly old. We 
think it will grow, we have used it so with success in 
our own past plantings, but we offer it simply “as is”, 
your I'isk if you want to take it. Pkt. 15c. 
32 ANEMONE CORONARIA ST. BRIDGID STRAIN— 
rkt(l-2)9. Flowers mostly semi double to fully double, in 
white, crimson, cobalt-blue, lavender, heliotrope, rose, pink, 
or salmon. Mixed colors here, fullest range. Pkt. 10c. 
(Tubers, fall delivery, 10 for 40c; 25 for 90c.) 
21 ANEMONE DELTOIDEA—rsty(l)15. A pretty shade- 
lovirg Windflower, with rather large upfacing blossoms 
that are most often pure white, but sometimes soft pink 
or pale blue. Pkt. 20c. 
21 ANEMONE GLOBOSA—rstyt(l-2)16. Pretty blossom- 
cups, white, creamy or rose-tinted. Graceful plants. Pkt. 
15c, (Plants, each 25c; 3 for 70c.) 
21 ANEMONE HALLERI—erbatyt(l)18. Big chalices of 
rich violet with sheen of silk. A vigorous, robust species 
of much showiness. Foliage decorative all season, Pkt. 16c- 
21 ANEMONE JAPONICA—cby(5)28. A glorious “spring 
in autumn” flower. Great long-stemmed blossoms of white, 
flesh-tinted cream, pure pink, or rich rose. Seeds saved from 
strains that begin flowering in early autumn, “September 
Charm” and the like, mostly at Old Orchard. Pkt. 15c; 
1/32 oz. 40c; ^ oz. 75c. (Plants, varied fine rose and 
pink shades in mixture, each 30c ; 3 for 85c.) 
21 ANEMONE PATENS NUTTALLI—rnyt(l)16. American 
Wind-flower. Lovely blossom cups of opaline lavender, fol¬ 
lowed by silken tassels. A delightful species. Pkt. 15c. 
21 ANEMONE PRATENSIS—ry(2) 12. Nodding blossoms, 
campanulate tendencies, in rosy mulberry, all over downy, 
feathery foliage. Pkt. 20c. 
21 ANEMONE PULSATILLA—ecrbltyt(l-2) 17. Great pur¬ 
ple cups, centered with golden tassels, sit in green lacy 
ruffs. Satin-sheen seed plumes. Pleasingly variable. Called 
PasQue Flower because a dye made from its leaves was used 
in older England to color Easter eggs. Hardy, robust, 
satisfactory. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 35c; % oz. 60c; 1 oz. $2.25. 
(Plants, each 30c; 3 for 85c; 10 for $2.40.) 
21 ANEMONE REGELIANA—ry(2)15. Like a particularly 
vigorous Pulsatilla with flowers of richest crimson above 
slash-shredded leaves. Pkt. 20c. 
21 ANEMONE RIVULARIS—ecbmyt(3)20. The flowers are 
giant white stars, purple in reverse. Wide-branching, in 
open, airy habit. Fully winter-hardy here, though it ranges 
in India south to Ceylon. A desirable species. Pkt. 16c. 
(Plants, each 35c; 3 for $1.00.) 
21 ANEMONE VITIFOLIA—cby(4)32. The Great Himalayan 
Windflower. It is rather like Anemone japonica, but blooms 
earlier, and perhaps more freely, and the flowers are big 
and white, with delightful rose shadings. Leaves are large 
and like those of the Grape, quite distinctive. Full hardi¬ 
ness. Pkt. 15c.

21 ANEMONELLA THALICTROIDES—rnsty(l-2)10. Rue 
Anemone. Daintiest white or tinted blossoms above “maiden¬ 
hair fern” foliage. A woodland fairy, but adaptable to rock 
garden, or border-edge clumps. Pkt. 15c; oz. 50c. 
32 ANDROSTEPHIUM COERULEUM 
It has been called, not aptly. Blue Daffodil, and the 
actual form of the blossom is rather in Narcissus re¬ 
minder, and again it is surely blue enough, rather a sky- 
blue, but it would be a small Narcissus, a delight in the 
rock garden, but no border beauty. The flowers are car¬ 
ried in terminal umbels on nine-inch stems, showing in 
early spring. They grow from a bulb, rather a Crocus¬ 
like corm. The corms winter outside at Philadelphia with¬ 
out protection, but farther north should likely be 
mulched with straw. Androstephium is a decidedly rare 
plant, not plentiful even in its own wild home, but it is 
worth having in the rock garden. Personally we like it 
much, “y” culture. Pkt. 20c.

21 ANTHEMIS 
A race of particularly easy and satisfactory daisy-flowers 
for rockery, border or the wild garden. 
21 ANTHEMIS AIZOON—erx(2)9. Low silvery mats, built 
of multitudinous closely packed rosettes. Daisies of purest 
whiteness. Highly attractive rock garden species. At our 
Old Orchard Seed Farm there happened to be a planting 
of this along side one of Phlox divaricata, more or less a 
fortuitous association, but the contrast of the crowded 
white flowers and silvery leaves of the Anthemis, with the 
varied blue.s of the Phlox was so delightful that we have 
felt others should know of the opportunity. Pkt. 15c.
