 required, except during the winter months, and a night 

 temperature of Ki-TO^ is best for these plants. By dry- 

 ing off the Eucharis to some extent for a few weeks, a 

 crop of flowers may be had at almost any season, pro-

 The only insects liable to give much trouble in connec- 

 tion with these plants are mealy bugs and thrips, and 

 these may be controlled by thorough svringing.

The Amazon Lilies, as Eucharis are popularly called, 

 are among the most desirable of warmhouse bulbous 

 plants, being not only very beautiful but also very free 

 in the production of flowers. 



When grown in pots, they require a coarse, fibrous 

 soil, composed chiefly of rotted sod, and enriched with 

 about one-fourth of dry cow manure and a sprinkling of 

 bone dust. The pots should be well drained, for much 

 water is needed during the growing season, but fre- 

 quent potting should be avoided, as the roots are im-
