Plant propagation
Propagated by seeds which should be planted in spring in
hot-beds, and transplanted in the open in May. By cuttings
of the young shoots in spring. These root readily
under a hand-glass, or in a propagating bed if given plenty
of air daily.
=Angophora.= _Myrtaceæ._
Increased by ripened cuttings, which will root in a few
weeks in sandy soil under a hand-glass, in a cool house.
=Angræcum.= See Ærides.
=Anguloa.= _Orchideæ._
Propagated by dividing the pseudo-bulbs, just before they
commence to grow. (See under Orchids.)
=Anigozanthus=, Schwægrichenia. _Hæmodoraceæ._
Propagated by dividing the roots in spring.
=Anisanthus.= See Antholyza.
=Anise.= _Umbelliferæ._
Increased by seeds sown in ordinary soil, on a warm sunny
border in May.
=Anisochilus.= _Labiatæ._
Increased by seeds sown in February, in heat; or by cuttings,
which will root in sandy soil under a bell-glass, in
heat.
=Anisomeles.= _Labiatæ._
Propagated by seeds, which may be sown in spring, in
heat. By cuttings made in spring and inserted in heat,
under a bell-glass.
=Anisopetalum.= See Bulbophyllum.
=Anœctochilus.= _Orchideæ._
Propagated by cutting off the growing top just below the
last new root, dividing the remainder of the stem into lengths
of two or three joints. (See under Orchids.)
=Anoma.= See Moringa.
=Anomatheca.= _Irideæ._
Increased sometimes by seeds sown very thinly in seed
pans as soon as ripe. Also multiply very rapidly by cutting
up the masses once a year. Offsets.
=Anona= (Custard Apple). _Anonaceæ._
Increased by seeds, which should be sown in pots, and
plunged into a hot-bed. By ripened cuttings, which will
root in sand under a hand-glass, in a moist heat.
=Anoplophytum.= See Tillandsia.
=Anopterus.= _Saxifrageæ._
Propagated by half-ripened cuttings, which root freely
under a bell-glass in a cool house or frame in summer.
=Ansellia.= _Orchideæ._
Increased by divisions of the bulbs just after flowering.
(See under Orchids.)
=Antennaria.= _Compositæ._
Propagated by seeds, sown in spring in a cold-frame, and
by divisions of the roots in spring.
=Anthemis= (Camomile). _Compositæ._
Propagated by seeds and divisions.
=Anthericum=, Phalangium. _Liliaceæ._
Increased by seeds sown as early as possible after they
are ripe, in a cold-frame; by division of the roots.
=Anthocercis.= _Solanaceæ._
Increased by cuttings, which strike freely in sand under a
bell-glass, with a mild bottom heat.
=Antholoma.= _Tiliaceæ._
Propagated by cuttings of the ripened wood, which will
strike root in sand, under a hand-glass.
=Antholyza=, Petamenes, including Anisanthus. _Irideæ._
