Pnrdy's California Flowering Plants
Androsace lanuginosa
ANDROSACE lanuginosa is a little the most attractive rock or cushion plant that
I have. The leaves form a low, dense clump of silvery gray. The flowers are like primroses—pink, borne on stems a few inches high. In summer runners like those of the
strawberry increase the colony. 30 cts. each.
ANEMONES of the fall-flowering sorts are Anemone Japonica, and in their season
have no competitors in their style of beauty. Tall, strong, excellent for cutting and
beautifully delicate, they have the further virtue of being very hardy and of growing
well in either sun or shade. Single plants or small groups in the border are fine; strong
colonies are attractive and, as companions for ferns in shaded corners, they make a
happy combination.
I have found that any good loam suits them. The soil had better be fairly well
enriched with old manure, the plants put in not closer than 18 inches each way, and it
is better not to disturb them for years. They have underground runners, which soon
make the bed a solid mass. If the soil is good let them, and give the bed only top-
dressing each winter, but if the soil is heavy take suckers out and cultivate.
