LIST OF PLANTS 83 
ANTHEMIS.—These are increased chiefly by dividing 
the clumps. Seed may also be sown in autumn or 
spring. 
ANTHERICUMS.—Divide the roots just after the flower- 
ing season, or sow seeds when ripe in pots placed in a 
cold frame or on a shelf in the greenhouse. 
ANTHURIUM.—For rare and superior forms division of 
the roots in March is relied on. When desired in 
quantity, seed secured from a good variety such as 
A. Scherzerianum, sown in shallow pans of compost 
placed in strong moist heat, will be induced to 
germinate. 
ANTIRRHINUM.—These deservedly popular plants may 
be raised by sowing seed on a warm, sheltered border in 
August; in gentle heat in March, to get them forward; 
or out of doors in April. To ensure the perpetuation 
of special varieties, insert cuttings in a cold frame in 
August. 
APHELANDRA.—Seeds, when obtainable, may be sown 
in February or March. Cuttings of side-growths will 
strike root in a propagating-case or under a bell-glass 
with brisk bottom heat. 
APHELEXIS.—Insert cuttings of firm young shoots in 
sandy peat under a bell-glass in greenhouse temperature 
during July or August. 
APONOGETON.—These useful aquatic plants are most 
easily propagated by offsets. They may also be raised 
from seed sown direct from the plant as soon as ripe in 
pots of loam, to be then submerged just below the 
surface of the water. 
AppLeE.—Pips that have been stored in sand may be 
sown out of doors in March.for new varieties. Approved 
sorts are now principally increased by budding in July
