AMARYLLIS BELLADONNA. 



Will some wise florist tell us how to 

 grow Amaryllis Belladonna successfully? 



J. J. L. 



From Washiugton, D. C, southward 

 this beautiful amaryllis succeeds well out- 

 doors in warm, sheltered spots, if planted 

 eight inches deep. In the colder states 

 pot or frame culture is necessary. We 

 find they succeed better grown several 

 bulbs together in 10-ineh or 12-inch pots, 

 rather than in the smaller sizes. Four 

 large bulbs are as many as can well be 

 used in a 10-inch pot. For compost, 

 fibrous loam, dried cow manure and sand 

 are suitable. Good drainage must be af- 

 forded. Bulbs should be placed in the 

 soil just sufficiently so that they will 

 stand firm. 



A cool, sunny house is best to grow 

 them in. After the end of May gradually 

 reduce the water supply and, as the 

 foliage becomes yellow, lay the pots on 

 their sides in a sunny spot to ripen off. 

 Give no water at all during summer. 

 In September and October the spikes 

 will appear, when they should be housed 

 and treated as previously suggested. Fre- 

 quent repotting is not desirable, these 

 bulbs flowering better when well pot- 

 bound. 



One or two successful growers plant 

 the bulbs in frames built of brick, keep- 

 ing them there all the time. Treated 

 in this way, wonderfully fine spikes are 

 produced. The soil should be allowed 

 to get quite dry in summer, which, of 

 course, can be done by leaving the sashes 

 in, some ventilation being left on all the 

 time to prevent the frame getting too 

 hot. One form of the Belladonna lily, 

 Amaryllis Hallii, also known as Lycoris 

 squamigera, is perfectly hardy in New 

 York and New England and ought to 

 winter outside in Ohio, with a little cov- 

 ering after freezing up weather.

Andeeson, Ind. — Stuart & Haugh held 

 their annual flower show November 19, 

 20 and 21. They had made greater 

 preparations for the event than ever be- 

 fore. Several large taDies in the recep- 

 tion rooms were loaded with vases, pots 

 and buckets of mums, including some 

 rare varieties.
