mould. Sow thinly, cover the seed lightly and set out or pot up the 
seedlings when they are large enough to handle. In the South and 
on the Pacofic coast, Anemones are left outdoors at all times. In 
the North the corms are best stored in a dry, cool frost-free place 
over winter. Anemones are tuber forming plants of rather fantastic 
shape. It is hard to tell which is the bottom and the top of the 
corm. The top is indicated by its fuzzy character, the remains of the 
previous year’s growth. When planting, be sure that you are plac- 
ing the corms correctly, top up, and not down. Anemones are flowers

TO PROLONG THE SELLING SEASON ™2Kke 
a dis- 
play on your premises of summer flowering plants. New 
plants or old plants of striking beauty that in spite of their 
worthiness are almost unknown. These old plants will act 
as novelties in most cases. Mass them in beds, place the 
plants in pots so that you can handle the plants easily when 
a sale is effected. Bury the pots in the ground. We would 
not display Petunias, Zinnias and other such in quantity. 
While these make your place look nice they do not create 
sales during summer. Have potted plants in reserve to re- 
place those sold or whole beds of flowers that are through 
blooming. When for instance Pentstemon Grandiflorus is 
out of bloom replace it with Gaillardia Burgundy or what- 
ever you may have in full bloom. Thus you can have on 
display several different flowers before frost arrives. You 
will make sales and will advertise your wares very effi- 
ciently. We suggest a few plants that we are sure will sell 
during summer. Achillea Perry’s White, Armeria, choice 
specimens of even height, Calliopsis Dazzler and Garnet, 
Campanula Glomerata Superba, Celosia Fire Feather, Dian- 
thus Deltoides Brilliant, Dianthus Caesius Splendens, Gail- 
lardia Burgundy, Gaillardia Beautiful Star, Gypsophyla 
Flowering Carpet, Gypsophyla Oldhamiana, Linum Cloth of 
Gold, Lychnis Chalcedonica Grfl., Mimulus Tigrinus, Pent- 
stemon Grfl., Pentstemon Sensation, Pyrethrum Uliginosum, 
Scabiosa Caucasica, Scabiosa Fisheri, Sweet William Black 
Princess, Torenia, Variegated Yucca.
