| ANEMONE (Species) 
A genus which furnishes many showy species of hardy flowers for cut- 
ting. Some commence to flower very early in the year, and others early 
in autumn. Their requirements are simple and all are easily grown. 
Culture. Because of the many species offered, most of which require dif- 
ferent soils and care, cultural instructions are given with each kind 
listed. All may be planted in fall or early spring. All hardy and do not 
require winter protection which is advised for the Japanese varieties.
