Late-blooming annuals. 



Probably the best annuals to bloom in late fall, even 

 after the first frosts, are petunia, phlox, and verbena. 

 Other excellent kinds are ageratum, alyssum, antir- 

 rhinum or snapdragon, Calendula officinalis. California 

 poppy, gaillardia, marigold, and pansy. The list may 

 be extended by 



Erysimum Perofskianum; ar- 



kansanum.

laciniata; tricolor.

If sown early or in the fall, bachelor's button, annual 

 gypsophila and poppy will re-seed and furnish plants 

 for late fall bloom. L_ H. B.f 



AN(ECTOCHILUS (Greek, open lip). Orchiddceae. A 

 group cultivated for the beautifully reticulated leaves, 

 which are oval or ovate, membranaceous and diversely 

 colored; the flowers are small, not ornamental. 



Terrestrial, from a creeping rhizome: Ivs. basal: fls. 

 in a spike or raceme; sepals free, the dorsal erect, form- 

 ing a hood with the petals, the lateral sepals spreading; 

 lip adnate to the foot of the column, spreading; claw 

 fimbriate, the blade 2-lobed. About 8 species. 



Although many methods have been adopted for the 

 successful cultivation of the best species and varieties, 

 failure has been the rule, so that at present few Ameri- 

 can collections contain even a single specimen. Plants 

 introduced by collectors sometimes thrive for a few 

 years and then fail, in spite of all efforts. Frequently 

 they can be kept only a year or two. 



Bullenii, Low. Lvs. about 2 in. long, bronze-green, 

 with 3 longitudinal bands of copper-red. Borneo. 



regalis, Blume. Fig. 217. One of the most attractive 

 species of the group: Ivs. oval, large, bronze- 

 green netted, veined with gold, the surface 

 of the Ivs. like velvet. Java. B.M. 4123. 

 F.S. 2:79 (both as A. setaceus). Several 

 good varieties exist. 



R6xburghii, Lindl. Lvs. ovate, median 

 line of pale green, reticulated and veined 

 with gold. Java and India. 



Several kinds are described and figured in foreign 

 publications, but they are all fanciers' plants. Other 

 names which appear in the American trade are: A. 

 Daydna = (?) A. DawsoniAnus = Haemaria. A. 

 Frederici- Aiiyuatii. Reichb. f. (A. xanthophyllus. 

 Planch.). Lvs. dark velvety green, the broad orange 

 etripe down the center covered with a network of gold.

 with pinnatifid divisions and forking veinlets. 



schizophylla, Diels. (Gymnogrdmma schizophylla, 

 Baker). Lvs. 18-24 in. long, quadri-pinnatifid, the 

 stalks, rachises and divisions slender, the ultimate 

 segms. finely cut. A comparatively recent intro. ; 

 very graceful in cult. Jamaica. A.G. 18:421. G.F. 

 2:533. A.F. 19:827. I.H. 31:522. Gn. 48, p. 417.

ANOIGANTHUS (from Greek words, alluding to the 

 expanded flower). Amaryllidacese. A small probably 

 monotypic genus of Natal and the Cape region, the 

 plants sometimes cult, as greenhouse winter- and spring- 

 flowering bulbs. A. brevifldrus, Baker (Cyrtdnthus

 tube and oblong-lanceolate nearly equal segms; stamens 

 6, in 2 series: fr. a globose membranous caps., 3-valved; 

 seeds flat. B.M. 7072. Var. minor, Baker (A. luteus,
