AUTUMN CATALOGUE, 19: 



AMARYLLIS. 



IN order to obtain fine specimens of Amaryllis the following method should be followed: 

 On receipt of the bulbs in the autumn they should be placed where they will be always 

 slightly moist and warm, under the benches of a greenhouse, for example ; do not pot up 

 the bulbs before the flowerbuds appear ; when first potted give very little water, and pro- 

 mote growth by giving moderate bottom heat ; increase the supply of water as the plants 

 progress. Very often the mistake is made that bulbs are potted up too early ; the conse- 

 quence is that only leaf growth is made. The proper soil for Amaryllis is turfy loam 

 enriched with rotten manure.
