ANCHUSA. Alkanet. Bugloss. Mostly Euro- 
pean herbs, quite tall and coarse, delighting 
in deep dry soils. The form we offer is not 
properly included in the family, but is Brun- 
nera macrophylla. It differs mainly in its low 
growth, likes a well drained loam, protected 
from extra moisture in winter. It is an ideal 
plant for the front of the border, and very de- 
lightful in leaf and flower. 
myosotideflora. Grows to 18 inches high, with 
large heart shaped leaves, in a clump, from 
the roots. The flowers greatly resemble 
Forget-me-not, and are held above the leaves, 
in May. 
ANDROSACE. Rock-Jasmine. World native 
plants of the Primrose family, tufted or trail- 
ing, among the choicest rockery plants, but 
needing careful culture. At home in a well 
drained, gritty soil, which must not become 
too dry in summer. 
sarmentosa. From a central rosette, come run- 
ners like those of a strawberry, to establish 
new rosettes, until the clump becomes a foot 
or more across. The flowers are in little 
clusters on short stems, above the foliage, 
and are bright pink, in May and June. 
ANEMONE. Windflowers. A large genus, of 
the Crowfoot family, to which belong the 
finest of our garden plants. They are found 
all over the world, in many varied forms. 
Generally they are of easy culture, in any 
loamy well drained soil. Plentiful leafmold 
is a help, and the more tender sorts require 
careful drainage. Shade is quite often helpful 
in getting them through the heat of summer, 
and the spring flowering sorts which die down, 
may have a light mulch. 
In the garden, the smaller sorts are for the 
rockery. The Pasque Flowers are also fine for 
the front of the border; while the taller, fall 
sorts may be massed in protected spots, or 
clumped in the back of the open border. 
All Anemones grow well at Gardenside, and 
are great favorites. We are led to believe 
that the best soils are neutral or but slightly 
acid. Of our collection, a few are very scarce 
and are offered, subject to supply. 
albana. This may be a pulsatilla form, though 
it is smaller in all parts. The tiny flowers are 
white cups, flushed with blue, held quite erect 
on plants about a foot high at most, and ap- 
pear in June. Very rare. $1.00 each. 
apennina. A bulbous species, not always hardy, 
but has over-wintered here. It may grow 9 
inches high, and has large blue flowers in 
April and May. Dormant tubers, in Septem- 
ber, only. $1.00 each. 
blanda rosea. Similar to the preceding but 
slightly larger flowers, on a smaller plant. 
This form has pink flowers, though the type 
is blue. From Asia Minor. September only. 
$1.00 each. 
japonica. Of this large group, we have only 
September Charm. We consider that hupe- 
hensis is a form of japonica, perhaps the 
original form. All the larger sorts flower just 
in time to be cut by October frosts, but this 
sort does not wait so late to display its soft 
pink flowers, backed deeper rose, on 2 foot 
stems. If available, field plants are sent early. 
Otherwise, plants from pots, not ready before 
late May. 
nemerosa alleni. This is the Wood Anemone 
group. The American form is wild in our 
woodland, and has large white flowers. Alleni 
has large, clear lavender blue flowers, on 6 
inch stems, in May. Dormant roots, Sep- 
tember, $1.00 each. 
nemerosa flore pleno. Also listed as alba plena. 
It is the double white form of the type. Sep- 
tember delivery, $1.00. 
nemerosa robinsoniana. Pale powder blue with 
buff reverse, September. 50 cents each. 
pulsatilla. Pasque Flower. Grows to one foot, 
with many woolly much divided leaves, and 
very large blue to reddish-purple flowers, bell 
shaped, in April and May, followed by plumed 
seed heads. 
pulsatilla alba. Clear white form of the preced- 
ing, very lovely. 
pulsatilla carpatica. This form, which we have 
grown for a number of years, is much taller 
and stronger than the type, and may be 30 
inches high, flowering over a long period. 
The best forms have powder blue flowers, 
but being from seed, they vary greatly. 50 cts. 
each. 
pulsatilla, Mrs. Van der Elst. This is a very 
rare form, with rosy pink flowers of which 
we have a few plants. NOT FOR SALE, at 
the present time. 
ranunculoides. Yellow Wood Anemone. The 
foliage and habit are those of nemerosa, but 
the root is more bulbous. The flowers, in 
May, are bright yellow, and nearly an inch 
across. September. 50 cts. each. 
sylvestris. Snowdrop Anemone. Grows 18 
inches high, and in May and June, each stem 
has one or two large fragrant white flowers, 
sometimes nodding. 
vernalis. Sometimes called Glory of the Snows, 
for it unfolds its blooms before the ground is 
clear. Much like the Pasque Flower, but 
lighter in color, or even rosy. Grows well for 
us, but lack of seed, and the loss of one lot of 
seedlings, keeps them scarce. 50 cts. each. 
ANTHEMIS. False Chamomile. Plants with 
finely cut, strongly scented foliage, and single 
daisy like flowers. Not particular as to soil, 
they flower all summer in full sun, and dry 
soil. Useful for cutting, and in the front of 
the border. 
tinctoria, Moonlight. <A _ soft 
sort, very lovely and large. 
ANTHERICUM. Plants of the Lily family, at 
home on deep soils, as they have fleshy long 
roots. Full sun, and dry conditions suit them. 
They have slender grassy leaves in a tuft, 
and rather tall branching stems of tiny white 
flowers. Ideal toward the back of the border, 
as a foil, or for contrast, and useful for cut- 
ting. 
liliago. St. Bernard Lily. May grow 3 feet 
high, the stems not branched, and the white 
flowers in a spike. 
liliastrum. St. Bruno Lily. Much like the 
preceding, but the stems are not as tall, and 
are slightly branched, while the flowers are 
more tubular. 
By some considered a form of A. 
Grows to 2 feet, much branched, and 
they are in 
yellow flowered 
ramosum. 
lihago. 
while the flowers are smaller,
