ANACARDIUM ANEMIA. 167 



Anacardium (Cashew). Anacardiacece. 



Ripened cuttings, with their leaves left on, root freely in 

 sand under a hand-glass, in heat. 



Anagallis ( Pimpernel ). Primulacece. 



The annuals, by seeds sown in a warm place in spring ; 

 the perennials, by cuttings from young shoots, or by divis- 

 ion, at any time, either under a hand glass or in a closed 

 frame. Keep in the shade, and when thoroughly estab- 

 lished harden off gradually. 



Ananas. See Pine Apple. 



Anantherix. Asclepiadacecs. 



Increased by seeds, which ripen in abundance, or by 

 division of the root. 



Anastatica (Resurrection Plant). Cruciferce. 



Increased by seeds sown in the spring in heat, and the 

 plants afterwards potted off and plunged again in heat to 

 hasten their growth. 



Anchusa. Borraginacece. 



Propagated by seeds, which should be sown in early 

 spring in pots of sandy soil ; they will germinate in three 

 or four weeks. Also by divisions, and rarely by cuttings. 



Andersonia. Epacridacece . 



Propagated by cuttings from tips of young shoots. 

 These should be made in autumn, winter or spring, and 

 planted in sand in a gentle heat, with a bell-glass over 

 them. 



Andromeda. Ericacece. 



Propagated by seeds, sown thinly as soon as ripe, in 

 pots or pans, in sandy peat soil. Living sphagnum is 

 an excellent material upon which to sow andromeda 

 seeds. Place in a cool frame or greenhouse, giving 

 plenty of air. The young plants should be planted out 

 in spring, if large enough, or pricked into boxes if small. 

 By layers, which, if carefully pegged down during Sep- 

 tember, will take twelve months to make sufficient roots 

 to allow of their being separated ; layerage is a common 

 method. 



Anemia. See Ferns.
