From helios, sun, and 

 anthos, a flower ; on account of the brilliant 

 colour of the flowers, and from the erroneous 

 idea that the flowers always turned towards the 

 sun. Linn. 19, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Asteraceoe. 

 The sun-flower is a highly ornamental and ex- 

 tensive genus of plants, and from their tall 

 growth they are particularly adapted to the 

 back of flower-borders or the front of shrub- 

 beries, in which situation they make a splendid 

 appearance in autumn ; they grow well in any 

 common garden soil, the tender kinds being 

 protected in winter. They are all easily in- 

 creased by seed, which is ripened in abund- 

 ance ; the annual kinds should be raised on a 

 hotbed in spring, and when of sufficient size, 

 transplanted into the open border, where they 

 will grow and flower beautifully. '
