ANEMONE ANEMONE (Wind Flower) Ready in September Charming hardy spring flowers for the garden with showy single and double blossoms. Plant in October or November, four or five inches apart and cover one inch deep in a moist, rich, well drained soil, and then if well protected by leaves or litter, very beautiful tlowers may be expected. Make the soil rich and water frequently in the spring. The bulbs maybe kept till spring, when, if planted early, they will do well. For forcing indoors, put three'or four roots in porous, rich soil in a five-inch pot. Keep the pots in a cool situation until the roots are well started. Anemones succeed well in flats or benches. Anemoie prices include postage. EACH DOZ. The Bride, single, pure white ^o 02 $0 15 Coronaria, Single Mixed 02 15 " Double Mixed 03 25 1^ I\ â i r<iDi./\ Ready in August One of the most popular and easil)^ grown of the winter blooming bulbs, exceptionally valu- able for cutting. The flowers are white, last a long time and have a delightful fragrance. The habit of growth is distinctive. The five to seven upright tubular flowers are borne upon a jointed axis bent back almost at right angles to the long stem. The bulbs force easily and will come into bloom in January and February in the greenhouse. They also grow well and bloom freelj" in an ordinary sitting room if placed near a window and not kept too hot. They will stand a slight freezing without injury. Freesias appear to the best advantage when four or five bulbs are set in light, rich soil, in a 6-inch pot, kept in a warm, moist place until the plants are well started. Be careful to have good drainage. There is danger in water- ing too freely until the plants are in flower. The leaves and stalks are tender and it is desirable to support them with small stakes. Freesia Refracta Alba. WTiite with a yellow blotched throat. 3 for 5 cents; 20c. per dozen; ;i,25 per 100, postpaid.
