Single Anemone, ANEMONE Double Mixed 3 Single Mixed 2 Fulgens, single, scarlet 3 The Bride, single, pure white Allium Neapolitanum Very valuable for winter blooming. The large clusters of white flowers keep in condition for several weeks. Place four to six bulbs in a 5-inch pot in well drained, sandy loam, and start into growth at once. In potting, place a little charcoal or broken pottery for drainage, then fill the pot with soil and shake it down but do not pack it. Plant the bulb just deep enough that its top will not show. Keep in the full sun- light, and when the plants start give plenty of water. 2 for 5 cents; 25 cents per dozen; ^ per 100, postpaid. ANEMONE (WIND FLOWER) One of the most beautiful and showy flow- ers, exceedingly brilliant in color, of neat and compact growth, and with foliage elegantly cut. It is not quite so hardy as many other bulbs, but if planted in October or November, four or five inches apart and covered one inch deep in a moist, rich, well drained soil, and then is well protected by leaves and ma- nure, very beautiful flowers may be expected. A northerly site, protected from the wind and too much sun is the best. Make the soil rich and water frequently in the spring. If the weather is hot when anemones are in bloom, shade partially in daytime with cheese cloth or mosquito netting at about three feet above them, and cover the ground with moss or other mulch to prevent the soil from becoming too dry. The bulbs may be kept till spring, when, if planted early, they will do w^ell. For forc- ing indoors, put three or four roots in porous, rich soil, in a five-inch pot. Keep the pots in a cold frame or other moist, cool situation until the roots are well started, when they may be removed to the place where they are desired to bloom. Avoid heat and dry air and the rich and various colored flowers
