230 THE NURSERY-MANUAL 



Ananas : Pineapple. 



Anastatica (Resurrection Plant. Rose of Jericho). Cruciferce. 



Seeds sown in the spring in heat give good results ; or they may 

 be sown directly in the open where seasons are long. 



Anchusa. Boraginacece. 



Propagated readily by seeds, sown in early spring in sandy soil ; 

 seedlings may be handled in pots to advantage. Also increased 

 by division, and rarely by cuttings. 



Andromeda. Ericacece. 



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

 pots or pans, with peaty soil. Living chopped sphagnum is an 

 excellent material on which to sow andromeda seeds. Sow under 

 glass early in January in a temperature of 55 to 60. The young 

 plants should be planted out in spring, if large enough, or pricked 

 into boxes if small. Also increased by layers, which, if carefully 

 pegged down in September, will take twelve months to make 

 sufficient roots to allow of their being separated; layerage is a 

 common method. Some of the plants commonly known as an- 

 dromeda are now referred to Pieris. 



Androsace. Primulacece. 



Propagation is by division, seeds and cuttings. 



Anemia. Schizoeacece. 



Propagated by spores ; tufted kinds by division in March and 

 April. See Ferns, page 312. 



Anemone (Anemony. Windflower). Ranunculacece. 



.Increased by seeds, root-division or root-cuttings in autumn or 

 early spring. The so-called tuberous kinds make naturally divisi- 

 ble root parts. The seeds are sown in open-air beds in autumn or 

 spring, in a protected place. 



Angelonia. Scrophulariacece. 



Multiplied by seeds, which should be planted in spring in hot- 

 beds, and transplanted in the open in May ; or in regions of long 

 seasons, sown directly in the open. Also increased by cuttings of 

 the young shoots in spring. These root readily in a propagating- 

 bed. A. grandiflora, the most popular kind, will produce flowers 

 the first year from seed. A. cornigera is annual.
