A DOUBLE AMARYLLIS 



Among the almost numberless varia- 

 tions that occurred among the hybrid 

 amaryllis colony were some that pro- 

 duced double rows of petals. Here is 

 one that might readily become the 

 progenitor of a race of amaryllis in 

 which the petals altogether take the 

 place of the reproductive organs, as is 

 the case with some varieties of double 

 roses and dahlias. Even at the present 

 stage,, this is an interesting anomaly, 

 very much resembling a giant dahlia. 

 (About one-half life size.)
