THE NURSERY LIST. 12 $ 



Artocarpus (Bread Fruit). Urticacece. 



Propagation is difficult. Suckers may be utilized when 

 procurable. The young and slender lateral growths are used 

 for cuttings. 

 Arum. Aroidece. 



Propagated by seeds, but usually by division of the roots, 

 the best time being just as they begin their new growth, 

 securing as many roots as possible to each division. Any 

 rootless pieces should be placed in heat shortly after re- 

 moval ; this hastens the formation of roots and excites top 

 growth. Arisaemas are treated in the same way. 

 Arundinaria. Graminece. 



Increased by division of the root. 

 Amndo (Reed). Graminece. 



Propagated by seeds or divisions, spring being the best 

 time for either method. In early autumn, the canes can be 

 cut into lengths of 18 to 24 inches and partly buried in sand 

 in a gentle bottom heat, laying them horizontally. 

 Asarum. Aristolochiacece. 



Propagated easily by divisions in spring. 

 Ascaricida. See Vernonia. 

 Ascium. See Norantea. 

 Asclepias (Milk-weed, Swallow-wort). Asclepiadece. 



Increased by seeds sown in pots in spring, pricked out 

 singly when large enough, and treated like cuttings. By 

 cuttings, which should be secured in spring, struck in gentle 

 heat, under a bell-glass, and as soon as they are well-rooted 

 potted into small pots. Seeds of A. tuberosa must be sown 

 or stratified at once. 

 Ascy rum . Hypericina . 



Increased by seeds and by careful divisions of the roots in 

 spring. 



Ash. See Fraxinus. 

 Asimina. Anonacece. 



Propagated by seeds procured from their native country. 

 The seedlings should be raised in pots, and sheltered care- 

 fully. By layers made in autumn. 

 Aspalathus. Leguminosce. 



Propagated by young cuttings of half-ripened wood, placed 

 in sand, in spring, under bell-glasses, which must be wiped 

 dry occasionally.
