48 THE DICTIONARY OF GARDENING, 
Anemone—continued. 
it should if it is to be successfully grown, should not be 
disturbed very often. They may also be grown as pot 
subjects. Of the pretty Wood Anemone (A. nemorosa), 
there is a most useful double form. These are shade- 
lovers, and may be grown under trees. 
The additions to the Japanese or autumn-flowering 
section are not numerous, the most meritorious being 
Lady Ardilaun, an exquisite white with a double series 
of petals; and Whirlwind, another semi-double, with 
leafy bracts. One of the most remarkable in this section 
is a variety with beautifully crispated foliage. These 
Anemones, as stated in Vol. I., are readily propagated 
by division of the roots. This should be undertaken in 
November. Nearly every portion may be relied upon to 
produce a good plant the next season. Plenty of water 
is necessary during very dry weather; or, what is still 
better, a mulching about the roots. 
Of the host of species none are more esteemed than 
A. blanda and A. apennina, both of which are blue. 
These are amongst the easiest to increase—the former 
by seed as well as by division, and the latter by division.

Brazil, Guiana, and Colombia, have been enumeratec. 
Flowers white, yellow, or rarely purplish, usually racemose ; 
calyx truncate or minutely five-toothed; corolla sub- 
bilabiate, the five lobes rounded or emarginate; stamens

ANGIOPTERIS. All Angiopteris are exceedingly 
useful for adorning the warm Fernery the year round, and 
the cool Fernery during summer. Whether grown in pots 
or planted out, they should be kept in a mixture of two 
parts fibrous loam, two parts rough peat, one part 
chopped sphagnum, and one part coarse sand: in this 
they thrive luxuriantly, provided that at all times they 
receive a liberal supply of water at the roots and are 
allowed plenty of room to fully expand their gigantic 
foliage. When they are grown in pots, a similar mix- 
ture should be used, but it is a good plan to keep the 
pots in water to the depth of 2in. or 3in. 
Although spores of Angiopteris are frequently and 
freely produced, there is no record of any seedlings of 
these noble Ferns having been raised in England, or, 
indeed, in any other European country. The propagation 
of these plants is usually left to their natural disposition of 
frequently producing at the base of their fronds young 
plants, which, when sufficiently developed, may be detached 
without trouble. The most expeditious way of increasing 
Angiopteris, however, is by means of the scaly appendages 
with which the base of each frond is surrounded. Hach 
of these fleshy scales contains at least two dormant 
buds, which, under the influence of heat and constant 
moisture, soon develop. The scales should be detached in 
their entirety and not be cut up, then laid in silver sand, 
covered with chopped sphagnum, and kept in a close 
propagating-case. Though this may be done at almost any 
season, February and March are the times most appro- 
priate to such a mode of propagation, which always 
proves all the more rapid when done early in the spring. 
According to the season in which this operation is per- 
formed, it is known that from three to five months 
usually elapse before the first indications of growth may 
be noticed; but after they have made a decided start, 
these young bulbils rapidly gain in strength, and may 
soon be considered as so many independent subjects.
