Amaryllis Bulbs 



Amaryllis Bulbs are perennial and 

 should not be moved or divided oftener 

 than once in three or four years. They 

 form large strong clumps that send up 

 a great many gorgeous blossoms lasting 

 for two or three weeks. By having a 

 variety of amaryllis, a succession of 

 bloom may be had from April till the last 

 of October.
