Every large district of country has somespecies which are peculiar to itself, and this factfurnishes an opportunity for exchange betweenthe cultivators of different sections. Only asmall number of our native plants have beenintroduced into our gardens. We have an im-mense variety to select from, and a little care intheir management would improve their size andbeauty, and probably in some cases producethat condition which is generally sought for byflorists, namely, the tendency to produce doubleflowers.

Nuttalliana, Gr.) The genus Anemone is pretty well known, insome of its species, all over our coiintry.

It difters chiefly from other species ofAnemone in haraig long feathery, or tailed seeds,as in Clematis, while in Anemone x^roper theseeds are short, and without the tailed append-ages. We present a flgure of our American Pulsatilla(Fig. 136), which is a variety differing little from ENTOMOLOGIST AND BOTANIST. 217 tlie European Anemone patens, and is distin-t;iiislied as the variety Nuttalliana, Gr.
