ANEMONE 
These popular flowers of French origin are exceedingly brilliant when 
in flower and excellent for cutting. They like to be planted about 6 
inches deep in a cool, moist, but well-drained soil. Will establish without 
any trouble and remain for years. For northern states we advocate 
early spring planting, for the southern section of the country, fall 
planting is best. Cover in winter with strawy manure.

Autumnale Each 40c, Doz. $4.00 
Requires no soil, no water, no care. Beautiful rosy tinted blossoms, 2 to 
3 inches in diameter. Through Nature’s own process, Colchicum bulbs 
store within themselves all the fertility, water, etc., they require to 
bloom. Simply place the bulb in a dish or on the table or window sill 
and watch its beauty unfold. The blooms keep in good condition about 
two weeks, and when they wilt, cut them off and others will follow, 
each bulb producing from 6 to 15 flowers. When the blooming has 
ceased. in the early fall the bulbs may be planted in the open garden 
or lawn, where, each fall they will bloom in great profusion, or if you 
prefer you can remove the bulbs from the ground about July first, dry 
them in darkness for a few weeks, and use for indoor decoration as at 
first. Orders for Calchicum bulbs cannot be filled before August, but you 
should place your order now for August delivery.

these hybrids to be the best. They make a stunning show in the garden 
as well as indoors. For several years we have been increasing our 
stock so we could offer roots at a popular price. We suggest that 
they be planted in groups of not less than three, better effects are 
created if planted in masses of six or twelve. We have made our price
