HELIA'NTHUS. Sunflower. (From helios, the sun, 

 and anthos, a flower ; in reference to the opinion that 

 the flowers turn round after the sun. Nat. ord. Com- 

 posites [Compositae]. Linn. ig-Syngenesia, 2-Superflua.) 



Hardy herbaceous plants, all yellow-flowered; well 

 fitted for the back of flower-borders and the front of 



shrubberies, where such modes of planting prevail. The 

 annuals, such as the common Sunflower, should be sown 

 in a slight hotbed, and afterwards transplanted; the 

 perennials must be divided in the spring ; common, good 

 soil ; a few of the tenderest want a little protection in 

 very cold and wet winters.
