LOS ANGELES I—rr K M/l / N S CALIFORNIA. ed Giant Anemones These are among the most showy and beautiful of spring flowers; of neat and compact growth, with ele- gantly cut foliage and the most brilliantly colored blos- soms. They require but little attention and may be used to great advantage in solid beds or masses or in connec- tion with other plants in the border. Their large velvety flowers are ideal for cutting, lasting several days in water. Culture—Anemones require a rich, loamy soil. Soak the roots in water for six hours previous to planting. This causes them to swell and enables one to distinguish the crown, which is readily discernible by the fibrous points at the top of the root, the bottom being quite smooth. A sunny place is best. Place a slight ridge around the bed so that the plants may be flooded with water. Plant any time from October to May. They bloom from February to July.
