TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Sowing) Anemone and RAXi_ccur.<-s S_r.o ("Amateur".—Yon can son- both of iho above atanytimo now or up till tho beginning of April. Of course the sooner you sow, the better. The best, way to sow is to prepare a plot of light, rich soil, breaking-up i lie surface till it is very line; make shallow drills and. sow thinly: alter sowing give, a very slignt. covering with lino tight soil. When sown press the soil slightly with the back of the spudc. If the present moist weather continues the seed should germinate early, and during the winter the little bulbs should grow strongly and flower late in the spring. I prefer to grow a fresh bat eh of single anemone seed every season, as I linil that the young bulbs of one year cid will always succeed and give more flowers than old bulbs two or three years old. Another consideration is that the young, vigorous bulbs are not so liable to get attacked with little white insects which made such sad havoc with anemone and ranunculus bulbs and tubers last season.
