SEEDLINGS OF THE BELLA- 

 DONNA LILY 



This is the Amaryllis belladonna; a 

 true amaryllis, unlike most of the plants 

 that go by that name in the catalogues 

 of the horticulturist. The amaryllis of 

 the gardener is usually a plant of the 

 genus Hippeastrum, but the name 

 amaryllis has been so generally given to 

 the plants of this genus that it would be 

 useless to attempt to change the nomen- 

 clature. These are greatly improved 

 selected seedlings awaiting several 

 years' test; most of them are larger and 

 far more brilliantly colored than the 

 original type.
