These are among the most beautiful and valuable Hardy Perennials; highly ornamental in foliage and blooming continuously and freely from August until frost. The flowers are large, exceedingly chaste and pure in color, on long stems and wonderfully graceful; surpassing even in refined beauty the Cosmos and unsurpassed for cutting. Although the Japanese Anemones are hardy, it is well to give them a slight protection in winter, as they are some- times damaged by cold in severe winters when unpro- tected. ELEGANTISSIMA. (18 inches.)—Flowers large, made up of two distinct sets of petals and are of a most beautiful satiny-rose color. LADY ABDILAUN. (18 inches.)—Flowers waxy pure white, with overlapping petals and with extra tall, stiff stems. A most profuse bloomer. PRINCE HENEY. (18 inches.)—Large, semi-double flowers; dark purplish-red—the deepest in color of the Japanese Anemones. Distinct from all others. QUEEN CHARLOTTE. (2 feet.)—Flowers of extra large size (often 4 inches across) and dainty, silvery-pink color. Flowers earlier than the others and should be planted with them to precede them.
