Canon Boscawen, vicar of a village near Penzance, gave a packet of anemone seed to a friend io experiment with. The seed zcvered a patch four yards square. Now about 1,000 acres of Cornwall e growing anemones, and the industry at the height of the season employs 6,000 people, the turnover being about £200,000 a year. One Xf the interesting features of nnemone growing is that it is essentially a small man's industry. There are but very few big anemone farms, most of the flowers being grown as a sideline in small gardens. Nowadays the anemone corms are mostly brought from- Holland, the soil of which is very favoumble for growing them. Many a little Cornish householder with a bit of garden makes a tidy little sum for his Christmas festivities out of London's passion for the "wind flower." crat packed. plete list of the close it in the box. a li pieces, mustard glass: from being over. locked when unpacking is done anc accidentally thrown away with the waste pape.
