36 ANDORRA NURSERIES, ANEMONE JAPONIC A. These charming- Japanese Anemones are deservedly great favorites with all who love and own a garden, not only for their great and lasting beauty, but also on account of their being at their best during the late summer and autumn months, a time when such flowers are much needed to brighten up our flower beds and shrubbery borders. The blooms will last fully a week in water, if cut when freshly opened. They need no skillful cultivation, but they do best when planted in a deep, rich soil, flower- ing as freely whether the season be a wet or dry one. When grown in groups these plants can be best seen and most fully appreciated. See cuts of Japanese Anemone flowers on outside cover page and page 40. Anemone Japonica alba (Honorine Jobert). Pure white, yellow center, dark eye. A. J. elegans. Carmine, yellow center, and dark eye. A. J. rosea. Dark rose, shaded pink, yellow center, and dark eye. Single plants 25 cents ; five for $1.00. Anemone Pennsylvanica. June and July. White, cup-shaped flowers an inch across. Adapted to shady positions, where it rapidly multiplies. 20 cents each. ARUNDO DONAX. This noblest of all reeds, with its graceful tropical foliage, is the hardiest and most useful of the bamboo- like plants, and is particu- larly beautiful and effective when planted in an isolated position on the lawn or on the margin of a lake or stream. Last year the canes of this plant with us attained the height of eighteen feet. No more effective center could be chosen for a bed of sub-tropical plants than a clump of these imposing reeds surrounded by ornamental grasses such as Erianthus Ravennse, Eulalia Japonica, and E alalia gracillima uni- vitata. Single plants 25 cents ; clump 75 cents. A. donax variegata. Variegated variety of the above. In consequence of its effective variega- tion it never assumes a large development, like the green form of the species. A most striking position for this is to plant it in a clump on the green turf, which shows its variegation so well by contrast. Requires the protection of a light litter of straw or other suitable matter during the winter in our climate. Single plants 50 cents.
