AMARANTACE2E. An order containing some 

 very showy plants, but the greater part are 

 only weeds, and not worth cultivating. 



Amaranth. See Amardnthm. 



AmarAnthus, Linn. Derived from a, priva- 

 tive, and mairaino, to wither ; in reference 

 to the length of time some of the flowers 

 retain their bright colours. Linn. 21, Or. 5, 

 Nat. Or. Amarantacece. Some species of this 

 genus are pretty ; the hardy kinds merely 

 require sowing in the open border ; the less 

 hardy should be sown in a gentle-heating hot- 

 bed, and when old enough, potted off singly, 

 observing to give plenty of pot-room, good rich 

 soil, and water. A. obtusifdlia is diuretic.

AmaryllidAck£:. An order of beautiful bul- 

 bous plants which have excited admiration in 

 all ages. 



Amaryllis, Linn. The name of a nymph cele- 

 brated by the poet Yirgil. Linn. 6, Or. 1, 

 Nat. Or . Amaryllidaceas. This interesting and 

 beautiful genus of bulbous plants may be suc- 

 cessfully grown in the following manner : — The 

 bulbs of the stove species should be turned 

 out of the pots in autumn, and laid on a shelf 

 or other dry place till spring, when they should 

 be potted and introduced into the hothouse, 

 giving them, as they progress, plenty of water. 

 A. reticulata and striatifblia will not bear 

 turning out, but flower better by remaining 

 in their pots all the year. The greenhouse 

 species must also be turned out of the pots 

 and dried, and in the spring potted, and en- 

 couraged to flower. The soil should comprise 

 equal portions of turfy loam and peat, with 

 a fair quantity of sand ; the pots should be 

 drained well. They are increased by offsets 

 from the bulbs. Synonymes: 1, Hippedstr&tn,
