Amygdalus nana. 



Synonym for Amygdalus Besseriand, q.v. 



Andromeda campanulata^ 



Named after the daughter of the Ethiopian King 

 CVpht'us, who had to be delivered up to the sea monster 

 because her mother Cassiopea boasted that her beauty 

 surpassed that of the Nereids, the sea nymphs of the 

 Mediterranean, has a light red, smooth, and slender 

 trunk about 30 ft. high, and pure white June flowers 

 that hang from its branches in drooping panicles. In 

 Autumn, too, its falling leaves become light yellow, and 

 no wonder it is a great favourite in its native Japan. 



^Andromeda floribunda 



(Lily oj the Valley Bndi). If one wanted a neat 

 little evergreen for the rock garden, about 2ft. high, 

 one could not do better than select this one, for it is 

 charming all through the year, but more especially so 

 from March to May, when white w r ax-like flowers adorn 

 it in great profusion. Its sprays will be found most 

 useful for cutting, as they last a long time in water. It 

 is fond of peat, and can be raised from seed if sown 

 very thinly, as soon as ripe, in a soil of that nature 

 mixed with a little sand in a cool frame with plenty 

 of air.
