R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.'S AUTUMN CATALOGUE. 



AMARYLLIS. 



In order to obtain fine specimens of Amaryllis the 



following method should be followed : On receipt of the 



''M'W-^ »^ bulbs in the autumn they should be placed where they 



^^ ^^rJ/M^i MX^ will be always slightly moist and warm, under the benches 



of a greenhouse, for example; do not pot up the bulbs 



i.'iff'^,^ before the flowerbuds appear; when first potted give 



very little water, and promote growth by giving moder- 



^^i^^^^^nV^ ^^^^^-il^ ^^ ^l^^^pi^B^ ^^^ bottom heat; increase the supply of water as the 



i^> i^^^iv^rai^^ ^^^gjiM\'ij^^^^^H| ^^ ^y plants progress. Very often the mistake is made that 



' /^aggfl'K^ BJ^^ B i^^i^^W bulbs are potted up too early; the consequence is that 



^ii^^^Mff^^^^ ^PmCuS °^^y leaf-growth is made. The proper soil for Ama- 



i\ */ \M ^ff^ ryllis is turfy loam enriched with rotten manure.
