Giant Amaryllis, Hybrids of Vittata 



Giant Amaryllis, Hybrids of Vittata, growing in greenhouse 



FLOWERS 5 TO 7 IN. ACROSS 

 (.See cut) 



If you could see in reality, 

 the flowers of these magnificent 

 Amaryllis you would be amazed, 

 first at their size and then at the 

 brilliancy of the colorings, which 

 range from deep reddish maroon 

 to pure white and striped. Our 

 bulbs are grown from seed 

 obtained several years ago from 

 France through the Department 

 of Agriculture at Washington, 

 where they had tested these 

 Amaryllis — as shown in the 

 greenhouse in the illustration. 

 Every bulb has a magnificent, 

 flower-crowmed stalk and some 

 have two, with two or more 

 flowers to each. Plant your 

 bulbs in good rich soil, mixed 

 with a little sand and do not use 

 a pot much larger than the bulb, 

 for Amaryllis bloom best when 

 they are pot-bound. Strong 

 blooming bulbs, 50 cts. each, 

 3 for $1.35, postpaid. 



Pink Amaryllis, or Belladonna 

 Lily. Rose-pink, penciled sil- 

 very white ; very sweet. 25 cts. 

 each, 3 for 60 cts., postpaid. 



A. Hallii (Lycoris sqiiamigera). 

 Delicate lilac-pink, shaded 

 with clear blue. The foliage 

 dies down in July, after which 

 masses of bloom spring up as 

 if by magic. Plant in the fall. 

 75 cts. each, postpaid. 



Ismene Calathina. Large fra- 

 grant flowers, like an amaryl- 

 lis, novel in form and snowy 

 white. Generally blooms in 

 three to four weeks after 

 planting. 25c. each, postpaid.

{Lily myriophyllum.)

 the throat a clear canary-yel-
