warm, sunny position, as at the base of a hot-house wall 
facing south. 
AMELANCHIER.—These handsome flowering trees and 
shrubs are propagated by layers, seed, or cuttings of 
ripened wood, and by grafting in March on Hawthorn 
or Quince stocks. 
AmyGpALus.—The Almond-trees, valued for their early 
flowering, can be raised from stones from the fruit 
planted 6 inches deep when ripe and cleaned, by graft- 
ing in March, or by budding in summer on stocks of the 
Bitter Almond or young seedling Plum stocks. 
ANANAS.—Plants of the Pineapple family are propa- 
gated by offsets or suckers, also by crowns produced at 
the summit of the fruit, at all seasons, by planting in 
small pots of loamy soil with brisk bottom and top heat, 
but allowing only a moderate supply of water until roots 
are freely produced. 
ANcCHUSA.—Seed may be sown out of doors or under 
glass in March. These plants also grow freely from 
root-cuttings, 2 inches long, inserted in pots of sandy 
soil in a cold frame in spring. 
ANDROMEDA.—The wax-like blossoms of these hardy 
shrubs are much appreciated. Seed should be sown as 
soon as ripe in pots of sandy peat, and be placed in a 
well-ventilated cold frame. Layering is also practised 
by tongueing and pegging down the shoots in September. 
One year is needed to develop roots sufficiently to allow 
of their being separated with safety from the parent 
plant. 
ANEMONE.—Propagation of this large family is effected 
by seed, division, and root-cuttings. A. coronaria is 
extensively raised from seed sown as soon as ripe. The 
cottony down adhering to the seeds is separated by
