GIANT AMARYLLIS 



The Hcemanthus, or blood lily, is 

 a South African bulbous plant, of 

 flowers ever known. The size was so 

 accentuated that blossoms of the most 

 dazzling colors, eight to ten inches 

 across, were quite common. The range 

 of colors, too, was wholly unprece- 

 dented. These wonderful varieties 

 have now been distributed to all parts 

 of the earth.
