Amaryllis 



Queen of Winter Flowering Bulbs 



CULTURAL DIRECTIONS— Amaryllis require very little soil, therefore you should use pots a very little larger than the 

 bulb and when planting leave the neck of the bulb exposed. Do not repot until there is danger of the bulb bursting 

 the pot and then give just one size larger. Amaryllis bloom all the better for being cramped. When growing well 

 and bloom is forming it helps the flower if you water with liquid manure or weak Bon Arbor.
