OPERATIONS FOR FEBRUARY. 
Anemones. — Plant a crop to succeed those planted in the autumn^ in prepared 
beds, page 17, rules 2 and 3. 
Anomatheca cruenta should now be potted, in sandy peat and loam, and the 
offsets separated. Water cautiously till they begin to grow, after which they may 
have a good supply. Vol. i. p. 103. 
Adenandra. — The greater part of the species may be propagated by the end of 
the month. Take off the tender shoots about half an inch or an inch long ; plant 
them in a pot of sand, or sandy peat ; cover them with a bell-glass ; or plant them low 
enough in the pot to allow of a piece of window-glass being laid over the top ; place 
them on a shelf near to the roof of the house, and occasionally give them a slight 
sprinkling of water, and they will soon grow. 
Banksias. — Be particularly cautious not to over- water this month. Vol. i. 
p. 120.
