A Double Amaryllis 



Among the almost numberless variations that occurred 

 among the specimens in Mr. Burbank's hybrid amaryllis colony 

 were some that produced double rows of petals. Here is one thai 

 might readily become the progenitor of a race of amaryllis in 

 which the petals altogether take the place of the repro- 

 ductive organs, as is the case with some varieties of 

 double roses and dahlias. Even at the pres- 

 ent stage, this is an interesting anomaly.
