ANTHE'PHORA. (From anthos, a flower, 

 and jphoreo, to bear. Nat. ord., Grasses 

 ~Graminacea3]. Linn., 3-Triandria, 2- 

 Digynia). Seed in March or April. 

 Peat and loam. They are pretty, and, 

 with the exception of requiring a green- 

 house in winter, as easily managed as 

 any other grass.

 maica. 1776.

 and kerkos, a hedge, in reference to the 

 tall flower stems. Nat. ord., Lilyworts 

 [Liliaceae]. Linn., 6-Hexandria, \-Mo- 

 nogynia). Few orders of plants are less 

 ably arranged by men of science, and 

 still less understood by the gardener than 

 the " beautiful" Order of Lilies. With 

 the exception of A. serotinum and A. 

 sulphureum, which are hardy, they are 

 mostly low greenhouse herbaceous plants, 

 with tuberous and fleshy-bundled roots. 

 Propagated by suckers, offsets, and 

 seeds. Sandy loam with abundance of 

 drainage, and requiring the frame or 

 greenhouse in winter. The genus BUL- 

 BINE is now added to this.
